NEUP CINR-23-29149: Multiscale Residual Stress Tailoring of Spent Fuel Canister CISCC Resistance

The objective of this project is to understand the role of residual stress in chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) of austenitic steel, then tailor CISCC initiation and propagation through engineered multiscale residual stress distributions. We will systematically vary microscopic and macroscopic residual stresses, then apply a novel sequence of advanced, site-specific, correlative characterization techniques to directly link residual stress, pitting, and crack propagation.
