Stress corrosion cracking is an important degradation mechanism that is threatening the structural integrity of pressurised water reactors throughout the world. AREVA has...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0011

Residual stresses have been generated, mechanically, in single edge notched bend specimens by side-punching ahead of sharp notches. Given that this is a novel method of...

The aim of this work is to investigate the residual stresses induced by plasma transferred arc deposition of an iron-based hard-facing alloy (Norem©) on stainless steel (316L)....

The proposal aims to examine how introducing 8% plastic strain in 316H steel through precompression, influences the intergranular strains in the material when loaded parallel...

The aim of this experiment is to characterise the effect of dilution on the residual stresses in multiple-pass welds produced with specially designed filler alloys that exploit...

Recently, a number of creep cracks have been found in complex pipe to pipe intersections, referred to as bifurcations in the boilers of the UK¿s Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors...

The aim is to make in-situ measurements of the strains in both the tungsten matrix and the copper infiltrate in the mechanical testing machine on ENGIN-X. Mechanical tests will...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0007

The aim of this experiment is to characterise the residual stresses that evolve as a multiple pass weld is built up, while exploiting transformation plasticity due to specially...

Welds in safety critical applications are subject to structural integrity assessments where residual stress plays a key part. Because residual stress predictions are unreliable,...
