Materials Reliability Program: Evaluation of Carbon Macrosegregation in Class 1 Reactor Coolant System Forgings (MRP-428)
Regions with higher-than-normal carbon content as a result of macrosegregation (variations in composition in alloy castings or ingots) have been found in large forged components in pressurized water nuclear reactors. This study assessed whether such macrosegregation would jeopardize design margins in nuclear plant operations.
