Effect of Dynamic Strain Aging on Fracture Resistance of Carbon Steels Operating at Light-Water Reactor Temperatures

Abstract: This paper reviews the phenomenon of dynamic strain aging in carbon steels and considers its effects on the fracture behavior of carbon-steel pipes and pressure vessels in lightwater reactors operating at elevated temperatures near 290°C (550°F). Dynamic strain aging is a phenomenon in which aging occurs simultaneously with plastic straining. It occurs over a range of temperatures that depends on strain rate. In tensile tests, it is manifested by increased tensile strength, increased strain-hard… Show more

“…The presence of the elements chromium (Cr) and molybdenum (Mo) results in the formation and presence of the second-phase particles chromium carbide (Cr 2 C 3 ) and molybdenum carbide (Mo 2 C), which are well dispersed through the microstructure. The carbide particles distributed through the microstructure contribute in a positive way to enhancing strength of the steel matrix (Ref [36][37][38][39][40]. However, the presence and distribution of an observable or substantial number of such carbide particles in the microstructure is detrimental to both ductility and fracture toughness.…”

“…The increased workhardening rate and increased tensile strength are believed to arise from greater than normal dislocation densities in steels that exhibit DSA. These high dislocation densities are believed to occur because of the pinning, which requires that fresh dislocations be formed continually to maintain the applied strain rate 13 . Fig.…”

“…According to its greater solubility limit, nitrogen seems to exert a more pronounced influence on aging than carbon does [1,5,24,25]. The localization of these atoms is rather complex [9,10].…”
