NEUP CINR-19-16297: Irradiation studies on electron beam welded PM-HIP pressure vessel steel

The objective of this project is to assess the integrity of electron beam (EB) welded powder metallurgy with hot isostatic pressing (PM-HIP) pressure vessel steel under irradiation. This project will conduct neutron irradiations and post irradiation examination (PIE) on EB welds of A508, Class 1, Grade 3. We will systematically study the effects of composition, heat treatment, and processing on irradiation response. PIE will include microstructure, mechanical, and fracture toughness testing.
