Abstract: | The primary objection of this program was to evaluate, by means of actual welding tests, the various empirical and theoretical methods for predicting reheat cracking in 508-II type and 533B type nuclear pressure vessel steels. The program concluded that the “Threshold Value Criterion” method is a generally good way to evalute 508-II materials. The program also found that SA 533B materials are less prone to reheat cracking than 508-II type materials, but 533B is not immune to this type of cracking. |
