Neural Network Analysis of Charpy Transition Temperature of Irradiated Low - activation Martensitic Steels
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have constructed a Bayesian neural network model that predicts the change, due to neutron irradiation, of the Charpy ductile-brittle transition temperature (ΔDBTT) of low activation martensitic steels given a 40-dimensional set of data from the literature. The irradiation doses were < 100 displacements per atom (dpa). Results show the high significance of irradiation temperature and (dpa) in determining ΔDBTT. Sparse data regions were identified by the size of the modelling uncertainties, indicating areas where further experimental data are needed. The method has promise for selecting and ranking experiments on future irradiation materials test facilities.

Modelling the correlation between processing parameters and properties of maraging steels using artificial neural network
An artificial neural network (ANN) model is developed for the analysis and simulation of the correlation between the properties of maraging steels and composition, processing and working conditions. The input parameters of the model consist of alloy composition, processing parameters (including cold deformation degree, ageing temperature, and ageing time), and working temperature. The outputs o...

Reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic steels have been developed by replacing molybdenum by tungsten and niobium by tantalum in commercial elevated-temperature Cr–Mo steels to reduce half-life of radioactive isotopes. The objective of this study was to investigate tensile properties of a reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic steel (9Cr-2WVTa) in normalized-tempered (NT) and quenched-tempere...
متن کاملPrediction of Mechanical Properties of TWIP Steels using Artificial Neural Network Modeling
In recent years, great attention has been paid to the development of high manganese austenitic TWIP steels exhibiting high tensile strength and exceptional total elongation. Due to low stacking fault energy (SFE), cross slip becomes more difficult in these steels and mechanical twinning is then the favored deformation mode besides dislocation gliding. Chemical composition along with processing ...
متن کاملAlloy Design for a Fusion Power Plant
Fusion power is generated when hot deuterium and tritium nuclei react, producing alpha particles and 14 MeV neutrons. These neutrons escape the reaction plasma and are absorbed by the surrounding material structure of the plant, transferring the heat of the reaction to an external cooling circuit. In such high-energy neutron irradiation environments, extensive atomic displacement damage and tra...
متن کاملStress-Assisted Isothermal Martensitic Transformation Application to TRIP Steels
Low-temperature plastic flow in TRIP steels has been found to be controlled by stress-assisted isothermal martensitic transformation. For these conditions, the thermodynamics and kinetic theory of martensitic transformations leads directly to constitutive relations predicting the dependence of flow stress on temperature, strain, strain-rate, and stress-state, consistent with the observed behavi...
