Demands of RPV materials with higher strength and toughness are rising to increase the power capacity and the operation life of nuclear power plants. The ASME SA508 Gr.4N specification can give a superior toughness and strength to the commercial low alloy steels such as SA508 Gr.3. However, the SA508-Gr.4N steels have not yet been used commercially due to a lack of information of the productivity and the age related properties. While the irradiation embrittlement studies are going-on, the current paper focused on the effects of alloying elements such as Ni, Cr and Mo on the fracture mechanical properties of the SA508 Gr.4N low alloy steels. Various model alloys were fabricated by changing the contents of alloying elements based on the composition range of the ASME specification. Tensile properties, Charpy impact toughness and fracture toughness of the model alloys were evaluated and those properties were discussed with the microstructural characteristics of each alloy. The strengths of the alloys were increased with increase of the Ni and Mo contents while there was no remarkable change of the yield strength with the Cr addition. The Charpy impact and fracture toughness were considerably improved with the increase of Ni, Cr contents. The Mo addition did not change the toughness properties significantly. The Cr contents were more effective on the fracture toughness through changing the carbides precipitation characteristics and the Ni contents were effective on the Charpy impact toughness through changing the effective grain size.

The present research focuses on the investigation of an in situ hydrogen charging effect during Crack Tip Opening Displacement testing (CTOD) on the fracture toughness properties of X65 pipeline steel. This grade of steel belongs to the broader category of High Strength Low Alloy Steels (HSLA), and its microstructure consists of equiaxed ferritic and bainitic grains with a low volume fraction of degenerated pearlite islands. The studied X65 steel specimens were extracted from pipes with 19.15 mm wall thickness. The fracture toughness parameters were determined after imposing the fatigue pre-cracked specimens on air, on a specific electrolytic cell under a slow strain rate bending loading (according to ASTM G147-98, BS7448, and ISO12135 standards). Concerning the results of this study, in the first phase the hydrogen cations’ penetration depth, the diffusion coefficient of molecular and atomic hydrogen, and the surficial density of blisters were determined. Next, the characteristic parameters related to fracture toughness (such as J, KQ, CTODel, CTODpl) were calculated by the aid of the Force-Crack Mouth Open Displacement curves and the relevant analytical equations.
