Three dimensional texture analysis by means of orientation distribution functions (ODF) was used to examine the texture development during rolling at 473 K in an austenitic stainless steel. With the help of ODFs results, the different stages of texture development could be assigned to the existing theories of heterogeneous deformation mechanisms of low SFE face-centred cubic metals. The texture at very low degree of rolling consists of two limited orientation tubes with their fibre axes 〈110〉//ND and 〈110〉60∘ND and agrees with the predictions made by Taylor model. With further deformation, twinning causes the reduction of ≈{112}〈111〉 component and leads to the formation of twin {552}〈115〉. Abnormal slip on slip planes parallel to the twin boundaries rotates the twins into the {332}〈113〉 and {111}〈110〉 positions. The shear bands formation in the rotated twin-matrix lamellae changes their orientations near to {011}〈100〉 and {011}〈112〉 positions. Finally, normal slip again continues and sharpens the brass-type rolling texture.

Recently, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of core internals and/or recirculation pipes of austenite stainless steel has been observed. SCC is considered to occur and progress near the welding zone because of the weld tensile residual stress. In the present work, thermo-elastic-plastic analysis of the residual stress was performed in order to clarify the effect of several parameters (diameter, thickness, number of multilayer welding) in the circumferential welding zone. Butt welding joint of SUS316L-pipes was examined. The residual stress was calculated by three dimensional-model and axisymmetric model and the results were compared and discussed in detail.

A comprehensive study of failure assessment diagrams for circumferentially surface-cracked austenitic stainless and ferritic steel pipes was conducted with the use of the finite element method (FEM). While the majority of the analyses were conducted using the line-spring/shell finite element method, some three-dimensional finite element analyses, conducted independently, are also reported in this paper. Comparison of the predictions of the line-spring/shell and three-dimensional analyses reinforce the validity of the former approach for surface-cracked pipes. The results indicated that the ASME Code Case N-494-2 applicable for ferritic steel piping appears reasonably conservative even for pipes with mean radius-to-wall thickness ratios of 20, whereas the results showed that the newly adopted Code Case N-494-3 for austenitic stainless steel piping requires a limit for pipe with mean radius-to-wall thickness ratios larger than 15. For consistency, the limitation of Rm/t ≤ 15 was incorporated in the approved final version of Code Case N-494-3, and was incorporated in Code Case N-494-2 as well. Because these Code cases are applicable only to Class 1 primary nuclear piping, which typically has values of Rm/t ≤ 15, this is not a significant limitation. It was also shown that the choice of definitions of membrane and bending stresses as well as the choice of F1 function values in calculating the elastic part of the J integral have a profound effect on the resulting FAD curves.
