Microstructure dependence on mechanical behavior of Alloy 690 [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2016
The influence of microstructure on the mechanical behavior of Alloy 690 was studied in this work. The microstructures with and without carbide precipitation were obtained through solution annealing and/or thermal treatment. The mechanical impact tests on different microstructure at a high strain rate of 5.3×103/s were performed by compressive split ...

Comparison of oxide layers formed on the low-cycle fatigue crack surfaces of Alloy 690 and 316 SS tested in a simulated PWR environment

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2019
Low-cycle fatigue (LCF) tests were performed for Alloy 690 and 316 SS in a simulated pressurized water reactor (PWR) environment. Alloy 690 showed about twice longer LCF life than 316 SS at the test condition of 0.4% amplitude at strain rate of 0.004%/s.

EFFECTS OF IRRADIATION ON THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF ALLOY 690 AT LOW NEUTRON FLUENCE

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2013
Alloy 690 has been selected as a steam generator tubing material for SMART owing to a near immunity to primary water stress corrosion cracking. The steam generators of SMART are faced with a neutron flux due to the integrated arrangement inside a reactor

Atomic simulations of nanoscale friction behavior in polycrystalline alloy 690

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2022
Fretting wear is one of the most important failure forms of alloy 690 heat exchanger tubes in nuclear power plants. The key to understanding the fretting wear of alloys lies in the friction process, especially at the atomic scale.
