Fatigue-crack propagation and fracture toughness behavior of cast stainless steels

  • 1. Westinghouse Hanford Co., Richland, WA (USA)

Description

The fatigue-crack growth and fracture toughness behavior of two cast stainless steels, ASME SA 351 Grades CF8 and CF8M, was investigated over a wide range of temperatures. The effect of a number of material-related parameters such as ferrite level, crack orientation, and heat-to-heat and alloy-to-alloy variations was studied. In addition, the crack growth and J-integral toughness of cast CF8 subjected to neutron irradiation was characterized. (author)
