· Materials at High Temperatures
The nickel-base solid solution alloys, Alloy 617 and Alloy 230, have been observed to exhibit serrated yielding or dynamic strain aging (DSA) in a temperature/strain rate regime of interest for intermediate heat exchangers (IHX) of high temperature nuclear reactors. At 800°C, these nickel-base alloys are prone to large serrated yielding events at relatively low strains. The presence of DSA introduces challenges in characterizing the creep-fatigue and low cycle fatigue behavior. These challenges include inability to control the target strains as a result of DSA induced strain excursions and distorted hysteresis loops. Methods to eliminate or reduce the influence of DSA on creep-fatigue testing have been investigated, including varying the strain rate, stepping to the target strain, and adjusting servo-hydraulic tuning parameters. It has not been possible to eliminate the impact of serrated flow in the temperature range of interest for these alloys without compromising the desired test protocols.
