Study of creep induced cavitation in a novel hourglass test specimen
Studies of creep behaviour in structures that operate at elevated temperatures such as nuclear power plants are important for structural integrity assessments. In the current proposed SANS experiment the isothermal creep behaviour of type AISI 316H steel will be investigated experimentally. Due to the hourglass design of the sample it is possible to measure variety of creep strain rates within a single test. The creep ruptured test specimen will be examined using small angle neutron scattering to measure the creep cavitation around the failure position. The MAXE analysis method (using maximum entropy algorithm) will be used to calculate the distribution of defects from scattering data obtained by SANS.
