Corrosion Fatigue of Pressure Vessel Steel A533B. Part. 1. Survey of Experience Up to Mid 1978. Final Report.

摘要

A survey is presented of the current work, both reported and in progress, to study the corrosion fatigue of the pressure vessel steel A533B C1 1 in a BWR environment. This report is based on the available literature, laboratory visits, and attendance at the Metals Society conference (April 1978). The parameters which are considered to have the most influence on the fatigue crack growth rate are considered in turn. Because of the sparsity of the available information an International Cooperative Group on Cyclic Crack Growth Rate Testing and Evaluation has been established. The initial work of the group and Swedish participation are described. (Atomindex citation 10:479396)
