Abstract In recent time, solid state crack repair techniques in spent nuclear fuel dry storage canisters (SNF-DSC) have garnered significant interest. Plates of austenitic stainless steels are usually arc welded to fabricate the cylindrical canisters which are prone to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking. Friction stir welding (FSW) is considered to be a potential candidate for damage repair. In this work, electrical discharge machining was used to simulate cracks in 304L stainless steel plates of 12.7 mm thickness. Subsequently, isothermal FSW was carried out at two different temperatures (725 and 825°C) in order to repair the simulated crack. Microstructure-mechanical property correlations in FSWed plates were studied in detail. Significant grain refinement observed in the stir zone (SZ) was attributed to dynamic recrystallization occurring during FSW. A comparison of Vickers microhardness showed higher hardness and homogeneity in the 725°C SZ than its 825°C counterpart. The fraction of Σ3 boundary is found to be low in the SZ as compared to base metal (BM). Yield strength of the joints was found to be approximately 100 MPa higher than that of the BM accompanied by a drop in ductility by a factor of 2. Residual stress profile across 825°C weld was measured using x-ray diffraction.

Abstract Carpenter Project 70+ Type 304/304L is a modified version of Type 304/304L stainless steel with improved machinability when compared to conventional 304 (Alloy Digest SS-418, revised September 1997) and 304L (Alloy Digest SS-513, revised November 1997). The alloys are nonhardenable austenitic chromium-nickel steels and are good general-purpose materials for simple and complex parts. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and elasticity. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-875. Producer or source: Carpenter Specialty Alloys.

Abstract Sandvik 3R12/4L7 is a composite tube consisting of type 304L stainless steel for corrosion resistance on the outside diameter and having carbon steel (A210 Gr. A1) as the inside component for both water wetted service and the design load. The major application is tubing to handle the corrosive conditions in black liquor recovery boilers. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure as well as fatigue. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and joining. Filing Code: SA-482. Producer or source: Sandvik.
