Extract

Residual stresses in an inconel alloy 600 U-bend tube, used in heat exchangers in nuclear reactors, were studied using an advanced x-ray instrument developed at The Pennsylvania State University. The work funded by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) mapped both the axial and circumferential (hoop) stresses on the outside surface of the tube. The residual stresses, inherent in the fabrication of the U-bend tubes, are a major contributor to stress corrosion cracking.
