Abstract

The second part of the paper presents the results of uniaxial tension testing of smooth round bars of 2Cr–Ni–Mo–V steel in the thermally-embrittled state and St3 steel in the initial state. SEM examination of the fracture surfaces is carried out. The brittle fracture probability is calculated using the Prometey model presented in the first part of this article. It has been found that the plastic strain effect on the microcrack propagation probability is caused by two reasons: (1) the critical brittle fracture stress increase due to formation of new barriers for microcrack under plastic deformation, and (2) the working volume decrease due to the neck formation in tensile round bar. A unified set of parameters has been proposed to take into account the plastic strain effect on cleavage microcracks propagation probability for WWER-1000 RPV steel and low-alloyed low-strength steel.
