Study of Residual Stresses and Microstructural Changes in Charpy Test Specimens Reconstituted by Various Welding Techniques

Changes in the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) material properties due to neutron irradiation are monitored by means of surveillance specimen programs, which are used for realistic evaluation of the RPVs’ lifetime. Due to a limited number of surveillance specimens, the evaluation of reconstitution met...
