Thermal ageing effect on solute segregation and precipitation in the heat-affected-zone of dissimilar metal welds for nuclear power plants

Solute segregation in the carbon-depleted (CDZ) heat-affected zone of dissimilar metal welds (DMW) designed for nuclear power plant EPRTM reactors has been investigated by atom probe tomography (APT) and related to the mechanical properties (toughness test). The analysis of grain boundaries (GBs) by...
