Estimation of Fracture Toughness for A508-III Steel in Ductile-to-Brittle Transition Region Using a Strain-Energy–Density-Based Fracture Failure Model

According to the assumption of intrinsic relationship between ultimate strain energy density and microcrack nucleation,this work developed a fracture failure model to estimate the fracture toughness of A508-III steel in the ductile-to-brittle transition region.The fracture toughness and uniaxial tension tests at different temperatures were carried out to determine the relationship between nucleation parameter and ultimate strain energy density,from which the evolutions of fracture toughness of A508-III ferritic steel for different cumulative failure probabilities at different temperatures were predicted.The fracture failure model can well describe the fracture toughness distribution of A508-III steel in the ductile-to-brittle transition region.Compared with the master curve method,this model has better temperature adaptability.It is more convenient to calibrate the parameters of this model compared with the traditional Beremin model,and without complex finite element analysis.

断裂韧性测试中的载荷分离法及应用

针对无法直接获得载荷(P)-加载线位移(load line displacement,LLD)对应的塑性功导致无法直接完成基于直通型紧凑拉伸试样(front face compact tension,FFCT)试样材料断裂韧性测试的问题,该文基于迭代理念将适用于台阶型试样(load line compact tension,LLCT)的规则化法推广应用于FFCT试样,得到基于FFCT试样评估延性材料断裂韧性的可行方法。结合汽轮机转子钢和迭代方法,验证新方法准确性,最后将迭代方法应用于核反应堆材料A508-III钢的J阻力曲线测试中,有助于解决基于1/2FFCT试样获取断裂韧性的难题。

小角中子散射谱仪放射性样品测量装置研制

辐照试样研究对评估材料性能具有重要意义。因其带有放射性,常规表征手段受到一定限制,而小角中子散射(Small-Angle Neutron Scattering,SANS)技术几乎不受γ、β等射线的影响,且制样简单。依托中国先进研究堆小角中子散射谱仪,研发了一台放射性样品测量装置,用于放射性试样内部纳米结构的测量分析。装置的屏蔽厚度利用蒙特卡罗模拟进行优化,结合自动换样和远程控制功能,提高了实验效率和安全性。利用该装置成功开展了A508-Ⅲ钢辐照监督试样的小角中子散射实验,结果表明低剂量长周期辐照对压力容器钢纳米结构影响较小。该装置和相关技术方法可用于放射性试样的纳米结构表征。
