Stainless steels are used for the construction of numerous spent nuclear fuel or radioactive material containers that may be subjected to high strains and moderate strain rates during accidental drop events. Mechanical characteristics of these base materials and their welds under dynamic loads in the strain rate range of concern are not well documented. However, a previous paper [1] reported on impact testing and analysis results performed at the Idaho National Laboratory using 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel base material specimens at room and elevated temperatures. The goal of the work presented herein is to add recently completed impact tensile testing results at −20°F conditions for dual-marked 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel material specimens (hereafter referred to as 304L and 316L, respectively). Recently completed welded material impact testing at −20°F, room, 300°F, and 600°F is also reported. Utilizing a drop-weight impact test machine and 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick dog-bone shaped test specimens, the impact tests achieved strain rates in the 4 to 40 per second range, depending upon the material temperature. Elevated true stress-strain curves for these materials reflecting varying strain rates and temperatures are presented herein.

Stainless steels are used for the construction of numerous spent nuclear fuel or radioactive material containers that may be subjected to high strains and moderate strain rates during accidental drop events. Mechanical characteristics of these base materials and their welds under dynamic loads in the strain rate range of concern are not well documented. However, three previous papers [1, 2, 3] reported on impact testing and analysis results performed at the Idaho National Laboratory using 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel base material specimens that began the investigation of these characteristics. The goal of the work presented herein is to add the results of additional tensile impact testing for dual-marked 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel material specimens (hereafter referred to as 304L and 316L, respectively). Utilizing a drop-weight impact test machine and 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick dog-bone shaped test specimens, additional impact tests achieved target strain rates of 5, 10, and 22 per second at room temperature, 300, and 600 degrees Fahrenheit. Elevated true stress-strain curves for these materials at each designated strain rate and temperature are presented herein.

Stainless steels are used for the construction of numerous spent nuclear fuel or radioactive material containers that may be subjected to high strains and moderate strain rates (10 to 200 per second) during accidental drop events. Mechanical characteristics of these materials under dynamic (impact) loads in the strain rate range of concern are not well documented. The goal of the work presented in this paper was to improve understanding of moderate strain rate phenomena on these materials. Utilizing a drop-weight impact test machine and relatively large test specimens (1/2-inch thick), initial test efforts focused on the tensile behavior of specific stainless steel materials during impact loading. Impact tests of 304L and 316L stainless steel test specimens at two different strain rates, 25 per second (304L and 316L material) and 50 per second (304L material) were performed for comparison to their quasi-static tensile test properties. Elevated strain rate stress-strain curves for the two materials were determined using the impact test machine and a “total impact energy” approach. This approach considered the deformation energy required to strain the specimens at a given strain rate. The material data developed was then utilized in analytical simulations to validate the final elevated stress-strain curves. The procedures used during testing and the results obtained are described in this paper.

The Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) developed an apparatus capable of supporting a wide variety of material studies and distinct component testing under impact loads. Material studies include material (metals, plastics, concrete, etc.) response due to bending, tension, shear, and compression loadings at elevated strain rates. Similar testing can also be performed on any distinct component fitting within the apparatus impact loading volume. This apparatus is referred to as the Impact Test Machine (ITM). The ITM is initially being used by the Department of Energy (DOE) to test 304L and 316L stainless steel tensile test specimens at various strain rates for comparison to static properties. The goal is to ultimately develop true stress-strain curves at various strain rates and temperatures for these steels. These curves can then be used in analytical simulations to more accurately predict the deformation and resulting material straining in spent nuclear fuel (SNF) containers, canisters, and casks under accidental drop events (Ref: Snow 1999, 2000). Test results can also help determine a basis for establishing allowable strain limits for these large deformation, inelastic events. This material investigation is currently in an early stage of development. This paper will discuss the results of tensile tests performed on test specimens employed in the formulation of the test process and initial checkout of the ITM.

Based on characteristic of stainless steel material, its milling performance is analyzed. Milling force of 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel was obtained with single-factor test of milling depth, line spacing, and feed per tooth on a CNC Milling Machine. An empirical model for the milling force of stainless steel was established by regression. The validity of the model is verified by comparing the model data with the experimental data. The impact of milling parameters on milling force is sorted in order of milling depth, feed per tooth and line space according to the exponents in the model. The conclusions have great help for the milling cutting tool’s design of stainless steel and the selection of milling parameters .

In this study, the effects of temperature and impactor nose diameter on the impact behavior of woven glass-reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6) and polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic composites were investigated experimentally. Impact energies are chosen as 10, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110, 130, and 170 J. The thickness of composite materials is 4 mm. Impact tests were performed using a drop weight impact testing machine, CEAST-Fractovis Plus, and the load capacity of test machine is 22 kN. Hemispherical impactor nose diameter of 12, 7, and 20 mm were used as an impactor. The tests are conducted at room temperature (20°C and 75°C). As a result, the PP composites of the same thickness absorbed more energy than PA6 composites. The amount of absorbed energy of PP and PA6 composites decreased with temperature.
