Creep Cavitation in Stainless Steel Weldments
Reheat cracking is a creep failure mode that has been observed in welded structures operating at high temperatures in the power generation industry. The failure results from the... -
Average structures of new functional oxides - POLARIS
The proposal addresses the average structures of new lead-free ferroelectrics, low-temperature ionic conductors and mixed conductors which are candidate solid oxide fuel cell... -
Effect of Anelasticity on Creep Behaviour
Nuclear power generation plants undergo start-up/shut-down load-temperature cycles during service operation. Components operating at temperatures in the creep regime can exhibit... -
Particle dispersions in ODS Nano-Structured Ferritic Alloys
Oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) materials are under development for use in applications in both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion power generation. The materials offer... -
The Origin of Anelastic Creep Behaviour
Nuclear power generation plants undergo start-up/shut-down load-temperature cycles during normal service operation. Components operating at temperatures in the creep regime can... -
Local structure studies of mellilite oxide ion conductors
The development of new interstitial oxide conductors with less restrictive structural constraintsrequires understanding of the mechanisms allowing both incorporation and... -
Local structures and dynamics of new functional oxides
The melilite family are new xoide ion conductors with high mobility at low temperatures. Average structures suggest that the ability of the structure to accomodate high levels... -
Residual stress mapping within creep resistant DC cast Magnesium alloy slab
We aim to use the ENGIN-X facility to measure the residual field within an industrial scale (1 x 0.8 x 0.3 m), direct chill (DC) cast slab of a high strength, creep resistant...
