An In-Situ Corrosion Small Punch Test for Developing Stress Corrosion Cracking in Stainless Steel.
Background: Spent AGR (advanced gas-cooled reactor) fuel cladding may suffer from stress corrosion cracking (SCC) during the interim storage period in cooling ponds and compromise the structural integrity of fuel storage.
Objective: To better understand the effect of SCC, a new small punch test (SPT) setup was developed in this study that can use a small volume of sample to limit the safety concerns about irradiated materials.
Methods: The SPT setup accelerated SCC in a surrogate material 304 stainless steel by introducing a circulation of a heated corrosive solution. Preliminary tests were performed to find the loading and environmental conditions that can develop SCC in the surrogate material. A finite element model was used to estimate the mechanical behaviour of the material during the test.
Results: Several samples were tested under different conditions, and SCC and other forms of corrosion behaviours were observed on the samples. The effects of different corrosive environments were obtained by further characterisation including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical profilometry.
Conclusions: The experiment demonstrated the new setup can develop SCC from a small volume of sample in a short period of time. Several improvements are listed including extra procedures to enable the experiments on the irradiated fuel materials.
期刊介绍:
Experimental Mechanics is the official journal of the Society for Experimental Mechanics that publishes papers in all areas of experimentation including its theoretical and computational analysis. The journal covers research in design and implementation of novel or improved experiments to characterize materials, structures and systems. Articles extending the frontiers of experimental mechanics at large and small scales are particularly welcome.
Coverage extends from research in solid and fluids mechanics to fields at the intersection of disciplines including physics, chemistry and biology. Development of new devices and technologies for metrology applications in a wide range of industrial sectors (e.g., manufacturing, high-performance materials, aerospace, information technology, medicine, energy and environmental technologies) is also covered.
