Abstract

[en] The mechanical properties and irradiation embrittlement behavior of

SA508 Gr.4N low alloy steel were evaluated. The yield strength and tensile
strength were increased with an increase in fluence level, but there is no
drastic increase in strength. A significant increase in the transition
temperature shifts from the Charpy impact test and fracture toughness test
was not observed in SA508 Gr.4N model alloy. The overall irradiation
embrittlement behavior of SA508 Gr.4N low alloy steel is almost similar to
that of SA508 Gr.3 low alloy steel, and an increase in Ni content by a few
percentage points in SA508 Gr.4N model alloys compared to SA508 Gr.3 low
alloy steel did not result in an increased embrittlement of these alloys. The
yield strength was increased with an increase in the neutron fluence level, and
the amount of strength increase was comparable to commercial SA508 Gr.3
low alloy steel
