| Abstract | As part of the energy transition, high demands of electric energy are expected for the next decades, a part of which can be fulfilled by Nuclear Power Plants which produce low CO2 emissions and thus contribute very few to global warning. The sodium cooled fast breeder reactors are designed to operate at 500 C in their hottest parts and during up to 60 years. Long term creep damage of the material constitutive of the non-replaceable components must therefore be studied carefully. The present study will thus focus on the creep behaviour of this material, an AISI 316L(N) steel, especially the effect of microstructure on mechanical properties in its initial state and for long-term high temperature exposure. Different steel compositions will be considered as well. The main objectives will be to elucidate the key microstructural parameters responsible for mechanical properties variation and to introduce them appropriately into a micro-mechanical modelling of creep. Such kind of modelling should improve the confidence in lifetime predictions of structures built in AISI 316L(N) steel and submitted to such harsh conditions which cannot be easily assessed experimentally. |
