Rapid heating tensile tests of high-energy-rate-forged 316L stainless steel charged with hydrogen and tritium

Description: Rapid heating tensile tests of uncharged, hydrogen-charged, and tritium-charged-and-aged stainless steels are being used to determine effects of internal hydrogen and helium on fracture modes and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Testing of high-energy-rate-forged (HERF) 316L stainless steel at temperatures up to near 1200{degree}C revealed that internal hydrogen has only slight effects on mechanical properties whereas internal helium from radioactive decay of tritium causes sever… more

The use of field indentation microprobe in measuring mechanical properties of welds

Description: A field indentation microprobe (FIM) was conceived for evaluating the structural integrity of metallic components (including base metal, welds, and heat-affected zones) in situ in a nondestructive manner. The FIM consists of an automated ball indentation (ABI) unit for determining the mechanical properties (yield strength, flow properties, estimates of fracture toughness, etc.) and a nondestructive evaluation (NDE) unit (consisting of ultrasonic transducers and a video camera) for determining t… more

Rapid heating tensile tests of hydrogen-charged high-energy-rate-forged 316L stainless steel

Description: 316L stainless steel is a candidate material for construction of equipment that will be exposed to tritium. Proper design of the equipment will require an understanding of how tritium and its decay product helium affect mechanical properties. This memorandum describes results of rapid heating tensile testing of hydrogen-charged specimens of high-energy-rate-forged (HERF) 316L stainless steel. These results provide a data base for comparison with uncharged and tritium-charged-and-aged specimens … more

Yucca Mountain project container fabrication, closure and non-destructive evaluation development activities; Summary and viewgraphs

Description: In this presentation, container fabrication, closure, and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) process development activities are described. All of these activities are interrelated, and will contribute to the metal barrier selection activity. The plan is to use a corrosion-resistant material in the form of a cylinder with a wall thickness of {approximately}1cm (2cm for pure copper.) The materials under consideration include the three austenitic alloys: stainless steel-304L, stainless steel-316L an… more
