Irradiation hardening and materials embrittlement in light water reactor (LWR) environments
Original language description
This chapter deals with the explanation of the effect of neutron irradiation damage as one of the most important ageing mechanisms in ferritic reactor pressure vessel (RPV) materials. Irradiation conditions, as well as the initial mechanical properties of the RPV material, are the leading parameters that determine the value and character/nature of irradiation damage that can be characterized as irradiation hardening and irradiation embrittlement. While the first one is usually detected by the increase in the yield stress of materials, the latter is characterized by the shift to higher temperatures of the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) obtained from different types of tests - Charpy notch impact or static/dynamic/arrest fracture toughness tests.
