Microstructural and Fractographic Characterization of a Thermally Embrittled Nuclear Grade Steel: Part II - Quenching and Tempering

A nuclear reactor pressure vessel steel was submitted to different quenching and tempering heat treatments aimed at simulating neutron irradiation damage. The obtained microstructures were mechanically tested and submitted to metallographic and fractographic survey. The relevant microstructural and...
