High-resolution neutron diffraction residual stress analysis of nuclear graphite
Nuclear graphites have a large number of defects over a very wide range of scales from nm to mm. These defects, and how they evolve with the microstructure, are important to understand the onset of sub-critical cracking and fracture of graphite components in the UK Advanced Gas Reactors. Micro-cracking affects the accommodation of strain at stress concentrations in quasi-brittle materials, like nuclear graphites, and we will perform high resolution studies of the effects of microcracking on the elastic properties and internal strains in Gilsocarbon graphite.
