...) for comparison. Charpy impact tests were performed to determine the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature and the upper-shelf energy level. In addition, some tensile tests were also performed to determine the irradiation-induced hardening. Test results in terms of irradiation-induced hardening...

... Laboratory (ORNL), groups of Charpy impact, tensile, and precracked Charpy specimens of the JRQ plate were irradiated by PSI to four different fast neutron fluences [from 0.39 to 5.0 × 10 23 n/m 2 (>1 MeV)] in a test reactor. Additional specimens were given a post-irradiation thermal annealing treatment...

... A plate of A533 grade B class 1 steel designated heat JRQ has been used for many research studies around the world, especially those sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency. In this study, groups of Charpy impact, tensile, and precracked Charpy specimens of the JRQ plate were...

... regions: vessel mid-plane and nozzle elevation (no neutrons, negligible thermal aging). Here, the base metal (Ni-modified A-302 grade B) is investigated: Tensile, Charpy impact and fracture toughness tests were performed at thickness ranging from 1/4T to 1/2T. The determination of the reference...

... in the ultimate tensile strength. All cladding exhibited ductile-to-brittle transition behavior during Charpy impact testing, owing to the dominance of delta-ferrite failures at low temperatures. On the upper shelf, the energy was reduced (owing to irradiation exposure) 15 and 20%, while the lateral expansion...
