Thesis
Linking microstructure to irradiation defects in advanced manufacture of steels
- Abstract:
-
Embrittlement of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel during neutron irradiation is a well documented phenomenon. Hardening embrittlement in low-Cu RPV steels is known to be associated with the development of solute clusters, primarily containing Mn, Ni and Si. Understanding the microstructural changes, and the corresponding impact on mechanical properties, caused by irradiation is critical in predicting the safe operating lifetime of commercial fission reactors. Multiple factors influ...
