Title: J-integral fracture toughness testing and correlation to the microstructure of A285 Steel for fracture analysis of storage tanks

Conference ·
OSTI ID:755220

The fracture toughness properties of A285 steels are being measured at various material and test conditions for application to elastic-plastic fracture mechanics analysis of high-level waste storage tanks at the Department of Energy Savannah River Site. Testing is being performed to determine the effect of composition, microstructure and orientation on the J-Integral resistance behavior at minimum operating temperatures.
