Cyclic Ramberg-Osgood Parameters of 316SS Weld Metal Under In-Air and PWR-Water Environments
Keyword(s):
Abstract At present the available Ramberg-Osgood (R-O) parameters for different metals (e.g. in ASME code and other literature) are static (generally based on a tensile curve). These static R-O parameters cannot accurately model the cyclic plasticity behavior. This work presents the cyclic R-O material hardening parameters for 316 stainless steel similar metal welds. The parameters were estimated under various conditions (in-air at room temperature, 300°C in-air, and in-air at primary water conditions for a pressurized water reactor (PWR)). It is anticipated that the reported results would be useful for computational mechanics based shakedown analysis and fatigue life estimation of PWR components.
