Microstructure dependence on mechanical behavior of Alloy 690 [PDF]
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 ...

Influence of oxide films on primary water stress corrosion cracking initiation of alloy 600 [PDF]
In the present study alloy 600 was tested in simulated pressurised water reactor (PWR) primary water, at 360 °C, under an hydrogen partial pressure of 30 kPa. These testing conditions correspond to the maximum sensitivity of alloy 600 to crack initiation.

Chemical Evolution in the Substrate due to oxidation: A Numerical Model with Explicit Treatment of Vacancy Fluxes [PDF]
To get a better understanding of oxidation behavior of Ni-base alloys in PWR primary water, a numerical model for oxide scale growth has been developed. The final aim of the model is to estimate the effects of possible changes of experimental conditions.

Atomic simulations of nanoscale friction behavior in polycrystalline alloy 690
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.

Shear enhanced heterogeneous nucleation in some Mg- and Al- alloys [PDF]
Intensive shearing was applied to alloy melts at temperatures above their liquidus by using a twinscrew mechanism. The sheared melt was then cast into a TP1 mould for microstructural examination.

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