研究目的
To provide a systematic assessment of IASCC behavior of candidate commercial and advanced alloys for structural application in LWRs under identical test conditions.
研究成果
The study concludes that cracking susceptibility correlates with both the degree of localized deformation and the hardness in the irradiated condition. Increased hardening correlates with localized deformation, which is likely a necessary, though insufficient condition for cracking.
研究不足
The study focuses on the initiation of IASCC and does not address crack growth rates. The correlation between hardness and IASCC susceptibility is not directly proportional, and the underlying reasons for this correlation are not fully explained.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Thirteen alloys were irradiated using 2 MeV protons to a damage level of
2:5 dpa at 360 °C and assessed for their susceptibility to IASCC in both BWR normal water chemistry (NWC) and PWR primary water. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Alloys from three classes were selected for study: commercial nickel-base alloys X750, 718, 725, 625Plus, 625 direct aged (DA), 625, 690, and C22; commercial austenitic stainless steels 316L, 310, and 800; and advanced FM alloy T92 and ODS steel 14YWT.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Samples were irradiated using a 3 MV Pelletron accelerator at the Michigan Ion Beam Laboratory (MIBL) at the University of Michigan.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Samples were irradiated with 2 MeV protons at a damage rate ~5 dpa/s to a dose of
5:5 dpa at 360 ± 5 °C. Data Analysis Methods:
Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the surface morphology and to document the extent of intergranular cracking.
