Investigation of the ductile fracture properties of type 304 stainless steel plate, welds, and 4-inch pipe

  • 1. David Taylor Naval Ship R and D Center, Bethesda, MD

Description

The David Taylor Naval Ship R and D Center has performed two tasks for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission concerning the safety of stainless steel (SS) pipes. The first task dealt with the J-integral fracture toughness of 2-inch thick weld 304 stainless steel plate. The second was the J-integral testing of 4-inch diameter, schedule 80 welded 304 SS pipe that contained circumferential through wall flaws, with and without additional radial flaws. The summary of these two tasks is presented including the comparison of the maximum loads experienced by the 304 SS pipes and the loads predicted by IWB-3640 for 304 SS pipes
