Elevated-temperature tensile properties of 9 Cr-1 MoVNb steel irradiated in the EBR-II AD-2 experiment

  • 1. Oak Ridge National Lab., TN

Description

The goal of this project was to measure the tensile properties of 9 Cr-1 MoVNb steel irradiated at elevated temperatures in EBR-II. In the future, the results will be compared with elevated-temperature irradiations of this steel in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), where much more helium is produced in irradiations to the same dpa level. Tensile specimens of normalized-and-tempered 9 Cr-1 MoVNb steel were irradiated in EBR-II to 10 to 12 dpa at 390 to 5500C. Tests were conducted at room temperature and at the irradiation temperature on irradiated and unirradiated specimens. Irradiation at 3900C increased the yield stress and ultimate tensile strength. No change in strength was observed for irradiation at 450, 500, 5500C
