摘要
The distributions of residual strains, micro-hardness, intra-grain average misorientation(GAM), grain boundary microstructure and metallurgical characteristics were investigated at the top, middle and root of the heat-affected zone of a weld joint between pressurized water reactor (PWR) control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) Nozzle Alloy 690 and Alloy 152 using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and micro-hardness tester. The results showed that the residual strain decreased from the last welding top of the weld to root, the maximum residual strain is 5.15% at the top of the last weld; the average fraction of coincident site lattice ∑3 special boundaries increased from the last welding top of the weld to root, the minimum fraction of ∑3 special boundaries is 46.6%, which is remarkably less than that 68% of the base 690 alloy. The HAZ at the top of the weld is considered to sustain the highest stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility. © 2017, Editorial Board of Journal of Nuclear Power Engineering.
