Stainless steel is used in various nuclear installations as a major structural material. Tritium is produced by several nuclear reactions in these facilities. It is considered that the hydrogen isotope included tritium permeated for stainless steel through the interaction such as dissolution, diffusion and recombination, and is released on the atmosphere. Therefore, it is important to clarify permeation behavior of tritium in stainless steel from the viewpoint for improvement of the social acceptability o...

Study on permeation behavior of hydrogen isotope in stainless steel

This study reports the results of nondestructive testing and evaluation of artificial thermal fati gue cracks using direct current potential drop method. ?ix artificial thermal fatigue cracks, intro duced into type 304L austenitic stainless steel plates with a thickness of 25mm, are prepared; and potential drops across the cracks are measured using a direct current source of approximately 80A. The specimens are then served to destructive tests to reveal the true profiles of the cracks. Fini te element simu...

Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation of Artificial Thermal Fatigue Cracksusing Direct Current Potential Drop Method

This study evaluates the distribution of electrical contact across the surface of thermal fatigue cracks by four- terminal direct current potential drop method. This study prepared seven artificial thermal fatigue cracks, artificially introduced into Inconel or type 316L stainless steel plates with a thickness of 25 mm. Columnar specimens embedded into a resin were fabricated from the plate s to measure the electrical resistance across the cracks directly. The results indicated th at thermal fatigue crac...
