Non-hardening embrittlement mechanism of pressure vessel steel Ni-Cr-Mo-V welds during thermal aging

The mechanical performance of reactor pressure vessel materials is an important factor in the safety and economics of the operation of a nuclear power plant. The ductile-to-brittle transition temperature tested by Charpy impact test is the key parameter for evaluating the reactor pressure vessel emb...
