RISFracture Toughness Evaluation of the Heat-Affected Zone Under the Weld Overlay Cladding in Reactor Pressure Vessel Steel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The fracture toughness in the heat-affected zone (HAZ), which is located under the weld overlay cladding on the inner surface of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV), was evaluated by considering the inhomogeneous microstructures ...
Applicability of Instrumented Indentation for Assessing Allowable Flaw Sizes of Circumferentially Flawed Stainless Steel Piping
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Structural integrity assessment of flawed pipes, as required by ASME B&PV Code Section XI, relies on failure stress calculated by the limit load criterion (LLC). The failure stress is derived from flow stress, ...
Applicability of Miniature Compact Tension Specimens for Fracture Toughness Evaluation of Highly Neutron Irradiated Reactor Pressure Vessel Steels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
