Description

The relative susceptibility of AISI 1020 steel to environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) in Hanford Grande Ronde groundwater was investigated using slow-strain-rate (SSR) testing techniques. The groundwater flow rate and oxygen concentration levels were higher than those anticipated in the repository environment. No EAC was evident at a strain rate of 10-4/s. At a strain rate of 2 x 10-7/s, and in highly strained regions of the specimen, evidence of EAC was observed. The SSR data are only used to assess relative, EAC susceptibility of candidate canister materials and cannot be used for quantitative prediction of materials behavior. 9 refs., 15 figs., 5 tabs
