Effect of Low Temperature Irradiation in ATR On The Mechanical Properties of Ternary V-Cr-Ti Alloys

Book ·
OSTI ID:984283
Tensile tests and shear punch teats were performed on a variety of vanadium alloys that were irradiated in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at temperatures between 200 and 300 degrees C to doses between 3 and 5 dpa. Tests were performed at room temperature and the irradiation temperature. The results of both the tensile tests and the shear punch tests show that following low temperature irradiation, the yield strength increased by a factor of 3-4 while the ultimate strength increased by a factor of approximately 3.
