Fast neutron irradiation to total fluences ranging from 7.7× 1021 to 5.7× 1022 n/cm2 (3 to 16 dpa) resulted in a 65% increase in yield strength and a fourfold reduction in ductility …
The effect of fast-neutron irradiation on the fracture toughness response of Inconel X-750 was characterized at 427° C using the JR curve technique. Irradiation exposures ranging …
An accelerated irradiation method using ion irradiation of recrystallized and precipitation- hardened Inconel X-750 has been used to study the effect on mechanical properties and …
Small-scale mechanical testing on irradiated materials is gaining popularity in the nuclear materials community due to the fact that mechanical property changes can be evaluated …
Small-scale mechanical testing (SSMT) is of great interest in the nuclear materials community as it permits the use of surrogate irradiation techniques, such as ion beam …
