Abstract

The effects of irradiation damage and recovery of properties by thermal annealing of two low upper-shelf WF-70 weld material were investigated. Irradiation embrittlement after a fluence of 1.0×10¹⁹ n/cm² was evaluated by the conventional American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code method and the American Society for Testing Materials master curve method. The Code method rated the same the post-irradiation transition temperatures of the materials. The master curve method indicated that the post-irradiated properties of the two materials differed significantly.
