Corrosion fatigue crack growth of pressure vessel welds in PWR environment

  • 1. Westinghouse Electric Corp., Pittsburgh, PA

Description

The fatigue crack growth rate behavior of several pressure vessel steel welds in PWR environment will be discussed. The behavior will be compared with associated heat-affected zone behavior, and with comparable base metal results. The welds show different degrees of susceptibility to the environmental influence, and this will be discussed in some detail, along with fractographic observations on the tested specimens
