Welding technology plays a critical role in materials joining, especially in the manufacture
and maintenance of space stations, ships, and nuclear equipment that operate under …

The present work investigates the role of Nb (C, N) precipitates and Cr-carbides on the high-
temperature fracture behavior of Super304H steel. To accomplish this, both as-received and …

Abstract Ferritic/martensitic (F/M) heat-resistant steels are one of the most promising
candidate materials applied in core fuel assemblies such as cladding and packaging in …

Fretting-induced damage is an important failure mechanism in steam generator (SG) tubes
in which there will be continuous contact and relative motion between tube and tube-support …

Residual stress distribution and its magnitude varies across the weldment, contributing to
many catastrophic failures. Moreover, it is challenging to reliably measure residual stresses …
