Unstressed lattice parameter studies for weld residual stress determination
This study addresses the need to improve the reliability of measurements of weld residual stress; particularly for the type of welds used within the nuclear power industry. Such... -
Characterising residual stresses in dissimilar metal welds (P92/In625)
Welds in safety critical applications are subject to structural integrity assessments where residual stress plays a key part. Dissimilar welds are often used in service without... -
Neutron Residual Stress Measurements of CANDU Piping Components
Residual stresses (RSs) in welded structures are inevitable and it is vital that they are considered and quantitatively estimated when analysing cracking and fracture problems... -
The use of neutron diffraction to determine residual stresses in standard ISI...
High-pressure research is one of the fastest-growing areas of natural science. The European Commission is funding the Sample Environment Joint Research Activity (JRA) between... -
Deformation and Temperature induced martensite transformation in austenitic s...
Deformation-induced martensite formation is a thermo-mechanical phenomenon whereby the transformation of the austenite phase into martensite occurs above the martensite start... -
High temperature fatigue loading of Zr-2
Zircaloy-2 and its almost identical sister alloy Zr-4 are used extensively as fuel cladding, as well as other components in nuclear power reactors where it operates at 250-350C...
