| Abstract | The Master Curve (MC) method can be used to directly determine fracture toughness of ferritic reactor pressure vessel (RPV) materials. CRIEPI has been working on the development of a testing technique to apply very small C(T) (called Mini-C(T)) specimens for the MC method. The appropriateness of using Mini-C(T) specimens for several materials including un-irradiated plate, forging, weld metal and irradiated plate has been demonstrated. Through a series of investigations, it was determined that more invalid data, due to ductile crack growth (DCG), can occur when using small size specimens. Linde-80 weld metal, used in the fabrication of some RPVs, is known as low upper shelf material, which tends to exhibit more DCG than high upper shelf materials. In the present study, two sets of 15 Mini-C(T) specimens were machined and pre-cracked from irradiated Linde-80 weld metal. Each set of specimens were provided to two different laboratories (A and B). The laboratories separately conducted the MC tests. DCG occurred even in the lower test temperature condition. About half of specimens for lab A showed excessive DCG and were subjected to the censoring. Some of specimens were rejected since the test temperature is outside of the specified range (T-To < −50°C). As a result, lab A could not obtain valid To with 15 specimens. Lab B also experienced DCG, however were able to obtain a sufficient number of valid KJc data points to determine a valid To. The obtained ToQ (lab A) and To (lab B) are sufficiently close to each other and suggests that Mini-C(T) can be used even for the low upper shelf material if the number of available specimens are sufficiently large. The combined dataset from labs A and B estimated To = 31.5°C, which is in the scatter band of To obtained by pre-cracked Chapry (PCCv), 0.5TC(T) or 1TC(T) specimens in a past Heavy-Section Steel Irradiation (HSSI) project. The overall result suggests that To can be estimated using Mini-C(T) specimens for the lower upper shelf weld material, but 15 is a marginal number of specimens for a valid estimation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
