In a nuclear plant of Westinghouse design the reactor coolant system components may be forged or cast stainless steel and varies from plant to plant. The reactor coolant pump casings are always cast. Both forged and cast product forms exhibit exceptionally high toughness in the as-build condition; however, the cast material is susceptible to thermal aging. Thermal aging causes significant reduction in fracture toughness, while the tensile strength and yield stress of the materials most often increase. 1, record 6, English, - thermal%20aging

La dénomination de «vieillissement thermique» recouvre toute une série de mécanismes basés sur la diffusion des éléments chimiques et permettant aux «systèmes» métallurgiques de revenir à un état d’équilibre thermodynamique plus stable, sous l'effet de la température de fonctionnement(entre 290 et 350 °C dans le cœur des REP [réacteur à eau sous pression]). Ce retour à l'équilibre se traduit par une évolution microstructurale et par une évolution des propriétés des matériaux. Les principaux mécanismes de vieillissement thermique susceptibles d’apparaître sont la précipitation, la mise en ordre, le vieillissement dynamique et la ségrégation de certaines espèces chimiques. Tous ces mécanismes conduisent plus ou moins à une fragilisation du matériau(avec ou sans durcissement). 3, record 6, French, - vieillissement%20thermique

Irradiation-Induced Stress Corrosion Cracking of Austenitic Stainless Steels. In recent years, failures of reactor internal components have been observed after the components have reached neutron fluence levels ... The general pattern of the observed failures indicates that as nuclear plants age and fluence increases, various apparently nonsensitized austenitic stainless steels become susceptible to intergranular failure ... Irradiation produces defects and defect clusters in grain matrices and alters the dislocation network, dislocation loop, and dislocation channel structures, leading to radiation-induced hardening. Irradiation also leads to changes in the stability of second-phase precipitates and the local chemistry near grain boundaries, precipitates, and defect clusters. 2, record 9, English, - irradiation%2Dassisted%20stress%20corrosion

Cuivrage mince ou en sous-couche. Ce type de cuivrage est le plus répandu industriellement par le nombre d’applications. Les bains de cuivrage cyanuré y trouvent leur domaine d’utilisation principale et dans une moindre mesure les bains au pyrophosphate, pour constituer la sous-couche de cuivre sur alliages de zinc moulés, alliages d’aluminium ou aciers. Ce cuivrage précède alors le nickelage, l'étamage ou d’autres dépôts. Il sert à prévenir des dépôts par déplacement non adhérents, à réduire plus ou moins des irrégularités de surfaces(nivellement), à améliorer la résistance à la corrosion par réduction de la porosité [...] et à limiter la fragilisation par l'hydrogène. 2, record 20, French, - cuivrage%20mince%20en%20continu
