Controlled Biaxial Strain-Rate Test Results from Unirradiated 20% CW 316 Stainless Steel Cladding at Constant Temperature

摘要

Constant temperature controlled biaxial strain-rate (CBSR) tests were performed on unirradiated 20% CW 316 stainless steel reactor cladding. Tests were made at hoop strain-rates of 1.2 x 10 exp -5 /s, 1.2 x 10 exp -4 /s, 6 x 10 exp -4 /s, and 1.2 x 10 exp -3 /s. For each of these strain rates, tests were performed at 425 exp 0 C, 540 exp 0 C, and 650 exp 0 C. The data from these tests are examined and compared with previously reported tensile data. A simple relationship between tensile and CBSR tests is developed, allowing easy correlation of the CBSR results. (ERA citation 04:042957)
