Nitrogen alloyed low carbon grade 316L(N) stainless steel (SS) is a major structural material for high temperature structural components of sodium cooled fast reactors. With a view to significantly enhance the high ...

A creep testing system has been designed, fabricated, installed and validated for carrying out creep tests in flowing liquid sodium. The testing system consists of two sections namely creep testing machine and an ...

In this study, the influence of cyclic strain amplitude on the evolution of cyclic stress–strain response and the associated cyclic deformation mechanisms in 316LN stainless steel with varying nitrogen content (0.07 to ...

The effect of normalizing and tempering temperatures on mechanical properties of P92 steel has been investigated using tensile tests and ball indentation techniques (BI) at several test temperatures in the range of 300–923 ...

The influence of nitrogen content on the high temperature mechanical properties of 316LN stainless steel has been studied at nitrogen levels of 0.07, 0.11, 0.14 and 0.22 wt. %. These studies have shown that 316LN SS ...

In the present investigation, systematic studies on microstructure and mechanical properties of P92 steel subjected to various normalizing (1313e1353 K) and tempering (1013e1053 K) temperatures were carried out. The effect ...

The prolonged exposure at elevated temperatures under stress significantly alters the microstructure of steels resulting in degradation of the mechanical properties. Therefore, the assessment of structural integrity of ...

Creep life prediction of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel under multiaxial state of stress has been carried out in the present investigation. Creep tests were carried out on smooth and notched specimens of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel in ...
