Description

Un-irradiated fracture toughness of the Kori-1 RPV Linde 80 weld was characterized by small specimens PCVN and ABI testing in the transition temperature region. The PCVN 3-point bend tests were carried out following the ASTM standard E1921-97 master curve method while the semiempirical IEF (indentation energy to fracture) theory was used for ABI data analysis. The result from the ABI tests was comparable to that of the standard fracture toughness tests. The proposed methodology would be very useful to evaluate irradiation embrittlement of pressure vessel steels with a limited volume of irradiated materials. Some special features of the low toughness weld were also discussed
