Evaluation of Quasi-Static and Dynamic Fracture Toughness on the Low-Alloy Reactor Pressure Vessel Steel JRQ in the Transition Region

Abstract:

Three point bending and impact tests with sub-sized Charpy specimens were performed on the JRQ reference steel for reactor pressure vessels. Quasi-static and dynamic fracture toughness data were calculated and the fracture behavior in the ductile to brittle transition region was evaluated within the frame of the master curve method (ASTM E1921). Specimens with shallow and deep cracks were studied and the respective influence of crack length and loading rate on the reference transition temperature was determined. The force-time curves of specimens with shallow cracks presented significantly smaller oscillations with respect to the absolute force, making the fracture toughness evaluation more accurate.
