In-Situ Measurement of the Evolution of Residual Stress During the Post-Weld ...
Reduced-pressure electron beam (RPEB) welding is an advanced welding technique being considered for Gen III and Gen IV nuclear piping and pressure vessel applications. RPEB... -
IN SITU CHARACTERISATION OF INTERNAL STRESSES IN A CLAD PRESSURE VESSEL STEEL...
Nuclear reactor pressure vessels are safety critical components of pressurised light water reactors. They enclose the nuclear fuel rods, that contain the nuclear fuel (uranium... -
Mapping of microstructural anisotropy of cementite in a sword bearing the "La...
Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the forging procedures to produce high quality steel arms and armour in different parts of the world. It is our intention to investigate... -
The Effect of Neutron Irradiation on the Mechanical Properties of Nuclear Gra...
The material to be studied is nuclear graphite used in the core of the Gas-cooled Reactors in the UK. It is a non-replaceable component and therefore life-limiting. During... -
In situ crystalline CTE measurements of nuclear graphite as a function of loa...
Graphite bricks are both the moderator and structural components at the heart of the Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (AGR) cores. Internal stress arises from the moderation role of... -
Deformation behaviour of gamma double prime strengthened nickel-based superal...
Inconel 718 alloys are widely used in industry. However, deformation behaviour of the different phases in the alloys during plastic deformation under loading has not been...
