Brian Eyre was an outstanding metallurgist who played a leading role in the development of nuclear engineering materials. His experiments on irradiated metals enabled a theoretical understanding of the mechanisms of radiation damage, and in particular the formation of voids and void swelling in structural steels. His work on the fracture of metals advanced our understanding of intergranular embrittlement and helped define the specifications of the structural components in nuclear reactors. He rose from a humble upbringing in London's East End to become Chief Executive of the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA). He was instrumental in transforming the UKAEA from a organization whose mission was to develop nuclear power generating systems into the privatized AEA Technology, which worked on a wide range of technologies on a customer–contractor basis.

Determine Fracture Toughness

Quantification of characteristics that govern intergranular fracture initiation and propagation of this fracture micromechanism in competition with cleavage one is main aim of the paper. A NiCr steel of commercial quality and the same steel with an increased content of impurity elements, Sn and Sb, were used. Step cooling ageing was applied in order to induce intergranular embrittlement. Standard and pre-cracked Charpy type specimens were both tested in three-point bending to determine fracture toughness characteristics. In order to characterise the quantitative differences in fracture surfaces roughness a fractal analysis was applied. A boundary level of fractal dimension has been determined to be 1.12: fracture surface roughness with a higher value reflects high level of intergranular embrittlement and thus fracture resistance degradation.

Secondary hardening and fracture behavior in the high Co-Ni steels containing W, has been studied in terms of severe deformation, Cr addition, and austenite condition. Two kinds of Co- Ni steels, containing the only W(W steel), and the W and Cr(WCr steel), were severely rolled and followed by direct quenching(DQ). In comparison with undeformed specimens, reaustenitizing( RA) was performed. DQ specimens exhibited higher impact toughness as well as higher hardness, as compared to RA specimens. The aging kinetics of the WCr steel was accelerated due to the Cr addition. While the W steel showed the intergranular embrittlement in the high temperature RA condition, in addition, the WCr steel exhibited the transgranular mode of mostly dimple type.
