Title: Evaluating and modeling rate sensitivity in advanced reactor structural materials: 316H, Gr. 91, and A617

Abstract

Advanced reactor systems operate at high temperatures to achieve better thermal efficiency. During transients from lower temperatures to high operating temperatures structural metals transition from rate insensitive behavior to rate dependent behavior. In the rate dependent regime creep and plastic deformation are not separable hence requiring a unified treatment with a viscoplastic model. Several bounding design methods in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Division 5, Subsection HB, Subpart B assume a decoupled treatment of creep and plasticity so establishing the boundary of the rate insensitive regimes for advanced reactor structural materials is necessary to set limits for the use of these bounding design methods. In the rate sensitive regime new bounding methods or fully inelastic analysis are required for the design of Division 5 Class A components. During temperature transients these components may operate in both the rate insensitive and rate sensitive regions, requiring computational models that can represent both types of behavior. This work establishes criteria for material rate sensitivity and develops a new composite method for modeling constitutive response in both the rate sensitive and rate insensitive regimes for three Division 5, Class A materials: 316H austenitic stainless steel, Grade 91 ferritic-martensitic steel, andmore »« less

Specifically, this work quantifies the average rate sensitivity of the three materials from an experimental database collected from the literature. Additionally, this work develops rate sensitivity criteria and a complete model for each material that can transition between both deformation regimes and provides several example simulations demonstrating the accuracy of the models and the numerical performance of the composite modeling method.},

New Mechanistic Models of Creep-Fatigue Interactions for Gas Turbine Components - Final Report

Technical Report Siegmund, Thomas ; Kruzic, Jamie

This report documents activities for DE-FE0011796 New Mechanistic Models of Creep-Fatigue Interactions for Gas Turbine Components. As part of the computational mechanics work two rate dependent strain gradient plasticity models are developed. One model is an extension of the Norton model and the other model an extension of the Kocks-Mecking model of unified viscoplasticity. Both models are used to compute results for time dependent deformation problems (gradient creep, void growth, a rotating turbine disk). Detailed numerical verification studies are reported. A plasticity model appointing for the strength differential effect in IN 718 is implemented and employed to analyze indentation experiments.more »« less

Development of the Technical Basis of a Unified Viscoplastic Model of 316H Stainless Steel for Incorporation into ASME Division 5

Technical Report Messner, M. C. ; Phan, V. -T. ; Sham, T. -L.

This report describes the development of a unified viscoplastic model describing the deformation of 316 stainless steel. The model was developed for incorporation into Section III, Division 5 of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code covering the design and fabrication of Class A high temperature nuclear reactor components. The current version of the Code does not provide reference inelastic models, leaving the responsibility of defining an adequate model up to either the plant owner or designer. This approach represents a substantial barrier to using the ASME design by inelastic analysis methods. As historical practice demonstrates these methods produce muchmore »« less

The high-strain-rate response of alpha-titanium: Experiments, deformation mechanisms and modeling

Journal Article Chichili, D R ; Ramesh, K T ; Hemker, K J - Acta Materialia

The high-strain-rate mechanical response of {alpha}-titanium is examined in terms of the underlying deformation mechanisms that govern its macroscopic behavior. The mechanical behavior of {alpha}-titanium has been evaluated using quasistatic compression testing with servohydraulic machines, dynamic compression testing with a compression Kolsky bar, and high-rate shearing under pressure using the pressure-shear plate impact technique. At the macroscopic level, {alpha}-titanium displays substantial rate sensitivity of the flow stress and pronounced strain hardening. The strain-hardening is greater at high strain rates than at low strain rates, and increases with strain at low strain rates. In an effort to determine the deformation mechanismsmore »« less

Flow characteristics and hot workability studies of a Ni-containing Fe‑Mn‑Al‑C lightweight duplex steel

Journal Article Mozumder, Yahya H. ; Arun Babu, K. ; Saha, Rajib ; ... - Materials Characterization

Highlights: • Hot deformation behavior of Fe-9Al-10Mn-4Ni-0.7C duplex steel has been investigated. • Yield-point like behavior and multiple peaks are observed at high strain rates. • The critical, recovery and steady-state stress exhibit linearity with peak stress. • The optimum processing domain is identified as 1223–1350 K and 0.001–0.01 s{sup −1}. • Micro-crack, micro-band and wedge crack are the instability features in the steel. The high temperature deformation behavior of Fe‑9Al‑10Mn‑4Ni‑0.7C duplex steel has been investigated in the range of temperatures 1223–1423 K and strain rates 0.001–10 s{sup −1}. The multistage work hardening behaviors are analysed using Kocks-Mecking model andmore »« less

Data-Driven Constitutive Model for the Inelastic Response of Metals: Application to 316H Steel

Journal Article Tallman, Aaron Ellis ; Kumar, Mariyappan Arul ; Castillo, John Andrew Redwing ; ... - Integrating Materials and Manufacturing Innovation

Here, predictions of the mechanical response of structural elements are conditioned by the accuracy of constitutive models used at the engineering length-scale. In this regard, a prospect of mechanistic crystal-plasticity-based constitutive models is that they could be used for extrapolation beyond regimes in which they are calibrated. However, their use for assessing the performance of a component is computationally onerous. To address this limitation, a new approach is proposed whereby a surrogate constitutive model (SM) of the inelastic response of 316H steel is derived from a mechanistic crystal plasticity-based polycrystal model tracking the evolution of dislocation densities on all slipmore »« less
