Abstract: In important engineering fields such as aerospace, nuclear power, and energy chemical industries, high-temperature equipment operates in extremely harsh environments. The issue of reliability has become increasingly prominent, making it a focal point of current research to ensure their long lifespan and high reliability. On the one hand, high-temperature equipment consists of multiple components, and the diversity of failure modes and the correlation between different failure modes pose great challenges to reliability assessment. On the other hand, the load conditions experienced during the operation of the equipment are complex and variable, and the degradations of critical components arising from the multi-damage interaction have uncertainties, resulting a difficulty to carry out precise management. It conducts in-depth discussions on the engineering damage theory-based reliability assessment and management of high-temperature equipment, summarizes and organizes the analysis process, main research methods, current research achievements, and issues to be addressed in the field of high-temperature equipment reliability.

Key words: high-temperature equipment, engineering damage theory, system reliability, reliability assessment, maintenance management
