In this paper, the temperature field, stress, critical crack size and expenditure rate of life of HP and IP rotors of 200MW Chinese-built steam turbines in eight typital patterns of cold start of Chongqing Power Plant was calculated by finite element method. Some problems in speed-up process have been discussed, and advanced that it is better to appraise start-up process by Fracture Mechanics Mechod in the period when the temperature of rotor is low. The discussion are useful for the start of steam turbines.
