Stress corrosion cracking is an important degradation mechanism that is threatening the structural integrity of pressurised water reactors throughout the world. AREVA has...

This experiment is aimed to study the effect of Oxygen on deformation mechanisms in Zr alloys with a particular emphasis on studying twinning. Oxygen is found in many Zr alloys...

Laser forming is a novel manufacturing technique used to form metal sheet into complex geometries. The process is based on the introduction of thermal stress including plastic...

Recently a new martensitic filler material has been designed and made, which has good mechanical properties as well as corrosion resistance. This alloy also exhibits a low...

For some engineering purposes like welding or SCC where IGS (Inter Granular Stresses) increase susceptibility to cracking, some indicator of the level of plastic deformation...
