NEUP CINR-17-12523: Experimental and Computational Studies of Stress Corrosion Cracking of Alloys 308/309 and 82/182 Weldments in Corrosive and Radiation Environment

Advanced microanalytical analysis techniques are proposed to study SCC and IASCC of stainless steel and Ni-Cr alloy weldments. CERT, autoclave immersion, and ion irradiation are proposed to determine synergistic effect of LWR environmental factors. Results from the experimental component of the proposed work scope will be used for enhanced predictive capability of the INL Grizzly code via XFEM.
