Abstract: The applicability of miniature compact tension (Mini-C(T)) specimens to fracture toughness evaluation of neutron-irradiated reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels was investigated. Three types of RPV steels neutron-irradiated ...

Abstract: We conducted fracture toughness testing on five types of commercially manufactured steel with different ductiletobrittle transition temperatures. This was performed using specimens of different sizes and shapes, including ...
