Abstract

Accomplishments:

● Analyses of defects (dislocations) in martensitic Alloy EP-823, cold-reduced to different levels, have been performed by using transmission electron microscopy. The dislocation density has been related to the degree of cold-reduction and residual stress in terms of a line-shape parameter determined by the positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS).

● Additional PAS measurements are ongoing on tensile, welded and cold-worked specimens of Alloys EP-823 and HT-9 at the Idaho Accelerator Center of ISU. Both Subhra and Silpa are involved in these measurements.

● Silpa is performing neutron diffraction (ND) measurements at the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), Chalk River Laboratory using Cold-worked and welded specimens of Alloys EP-823 and HT- 9.

● TEM studies involving welded specimens of Type 304L stainless steel and Alloy EP-823 are being performed by Srinivas to characterize defects at the fusion line, heat-affected-zone and base metal.
