Abstract

Miniature sheet-type tensile specimens are currently being used in a variety of radiation damage studies conducted in a number of different reactors. Although these specimens are very small, they have proven successful in addressing issues encountered in both thermal reactors and anticipated fusion reactors. This paper reviews the results of a number of recent studies that illustrate the range of applicability of these small specimens. When combined with other types of specimens and other types of measurements made prior to tensile testing, miniature tensile specimens have been found to serve as very useful tools for application to both fundamental studies and alloy screening studies.

Small specimen test techniques applied to nuclear reactor vessel thermal annealing and plant life extension

Conference Corwin, W; Haggag, F; Server, W

This symposium was the third in a related series of meetings on small specimen testing technology. In contrast to the two earlier meetings, which focused exclusively on testing techniques, this one explicitly included the needs of and applications to commercial nuclear power reactors. In addition, the program was strongly augmented by presentations of the continued development of testing technology with the fusion reactor research community. The symposium was divided into the following areas: nondestructive and nonintrusive testing techniques; Charpy impact testing; fracture toughness testing; novel bend and punch test techniques; tension testing; and applications.

Remaining-life estimation of boiler pressure parts: Volume 2, Miniature specimen creep testing: Final report

Technical Report Askins, M; Marchant, K

As part of an EPRI research project, ''Remaining-Life Estimation of Boiler Pressure Parts,'' one of the objectives was the development of a miniature specimen preparation and test procedure for creep life assessment. Work undertaken at Central Electricity Research Laboratories (CERL) for this task is described. A method of manufacturing miniature tensile test specimens from small samples of material, using electron-beam welding to attach grip sections, has been devised and proven. For thick-walled components, the specimen size may allow the procurement of component samples without the need for weld repairs and postweld heat treatment. A set of machines for testing themore »« less
ROLE OF SCALE FACTOR DURING TENSILE TESTING OF SMALL SPECIMENS

Conference Gussev, Maxim; Busby, Jeremy; Field, Kevin; ...

The influence of scale factor (tensile specimen geometry and dimensions) on mechanical test results was investigated for different widely used types of small specimens (SS-1, SS-2, SS-3, and SS-J3) and a set of materials. It was found that the effect of scale factor on the accurate determination of yield stress, ultimate tensile stress, and uniform elongation values was weak; however, clear systematic differences were observed and should be accounted for during interpretation of results. In contrast, total elongation values were strongly sensitive to variations in specimen geometry. Modern experimental methods like digital image correlation allow the impact of scale factormore »« less
Estimation of mechanical properties of irradiated nuclear pressure vessel steel by use of subsized CT specimen and small punch specimen

Journal Article Mao, X; Takahashi, H; Kodaira, T - Scripta Metallurgica; (United States)

This paper reports on the 2-1/4 Cr-1M{sub 0} steel that has been selected as the material for the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) of a multipurpose experimental high temperature gas cooled reactor designed by JAERI. The 2-1/4 Cr-1M{sub 0} steel has successful records for high temperature pressure vessels in the petrochemical industries and the ASME Code Case authorizes the use of the steel in these pressure vessels. However, the steel has not been used to nuclear reactor pressure vessels so far. Since the material in the so-called belt line region of the nuclear pressure vessels undergo changes in toughness and strengthmore »« less
