Strength And Ductility

Austenitic stainless steels such as 304L are frequently used for hydrogen service applications due to their excellent resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. However, welds in austenitic stainless steels often contain microstructures that are more susceptible to the presence of hydrogen. This study examines the tensile strength and ductility of a multi-pass gas tungsten arc weld made on 304L cross-rolled plate using 308L weld filler wire. Sub-sized tensile specimens were used to ensure the entire gage section of each tensile specimen consisted of weld metal. Specimens were extracted in both axial and transverse orientations, and at three different depths within the weld (root, center, and top). Yield strength decreased and ductility increased moving from the root to the top of the weld. A subset of specimens was precharged with hydrogen at 138 MPa (20,000 psi) and 300°C prior to testing, resulting in a uniform hydrogen concentration of 7700 appm. The presence of hydrogen resulted in a slight increase in yield and tensile strength and a roughly 50% decrease in tensile elongation and reduction in area, compared to the hydrogen-free properties.

Insight Into

One of the major materials problems encountered in the development of fast breeder reactors for commercial power generation is the phenomenon of swelling in core structural components and fuel cladding. This volume expansion, which is due to the retention of lattice vacancies by agglomeration into large polyhedral clusters (voids), may amount to ten percent or greater at goal fluences in some austenitic stainless steels. From a design standpoint, this is an undesirable situation, and it is necessary to obtain experimental confirmation that such excessive volume expansion will not occur in materials selected for core applications in the Fast Flux Test Facility, the prototypic LMFBR now under construction at the Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory (HEDL). The HEDL JEM-1000 1 MeV electron microscope is being used to provide an insight into trends of radiation damage accumulation in stainless steels, since it is possible to produce atom displacements at an accelerated rate with 1 MeV electrons, while the specimen is under continuous observation.

Type 304

Thermomechanically induced strain is a key variable producing accelerated carbide precipitation, sensitization and stress corrosion cracking in austenitic stainless steels (SS). Recent work has indicated that higher levels of strain (above 20%) also produce transgranular (TG) carbide precipitation and corrosion simultaneous with the grain boundary phenomenon in 316 SS. Transgranular precipitates were noted to form primarily on deformation twin-fault planes and their intersections in 316 SS.Briant has indicated that TG precipitation in 316 SS is significantly different from 304 SS due to the formation of strain-induced martensite on 304 SS, though an understanding of the role of martensite on the process has not been developed. This study is concerned with evaluating the effects of strain and strain-induced martensite on TG carbide precipitation in 304 SS. The study was performed on samples of a 0.051%C-304 SS deformed to 33% followed by heat treatment at 670°C for 1 h.
