Miniaturized disk bend technique application for estimation of the mechanical properties of irradiated ferritic steels

摘要

The peculiarities of application of the miniaturized disk bend test (MDBT) method for rapid estimation of electron induced changes of the mechanical properties of ferritic alloys and steels have been examined. Observed changes of the form of miniaturized disks loading curves as well as mechanical properties parameter values are connected with radiation-induced structure and phase transformations in the materials.
