Description

Samples of the pressure vessel steel ASTM A533 Grade B Class 1 will be irradiated and different materials tests are to be carried out. Charpy V-notch specimens, 48 tensile and 10 WOL-1X specimens will be neutron-irradiated in several capsules in the Material Test Reactor FRG-2 in Geesthacht. The irradiation temperature is 100degC and 290degC respectively. The neutron doses are 5x1018, 2x1019 and 1x1020 n/cm2 (Esub(n)>1 MeV). The fluence is measured with several neutron monitors (Co, Ag, In, Ni etc.). After the irradiation, the following tests will be done in the hot cell facilities: Impact test at the whole transition region and determination of the transition temperature, tensile test (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, reduction of area), hardness test, Ksub(IC) test
