Proton Irradiation and Slow Strain Rate Testing of Alloy 718
Traditional heat treatments used in production of parts made of alloy 718 may not be optimal for the corrosive, irradiated environment of pressurized water reactors, potentially leading to fuel assembly component degradation. This study evaluated 11 different thermo-mechanical treatments for alloy 718 for their ability to reduce susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking and irradiation-assisted stress […]
