MATERIAL SCIENCE
OVERVIEW (Cont.)
Volume 2 of 2
Module 3 - Thermal Shock
Contains material relating to thermal stress and thermal shock effects on a system.
Explains how thermal stress and shock combined with pressure can cause major
damage to components.
Module 4 - Brittle Fracture
Contains material on ductile and brittle fracture. These two fractures are the most
common in nuclear facilities. Explains how ductile and brittle fracture are effected
by the minimum pressurization and temperature curves. Explains the reason why
heatup and cooldown rate limits are used when heating up or cooling down the
reactor system.
Module 5 - Plant Materials
Contains information on the commonly used materials and the characteristics
desired when selecting material for use.
The information contained in this handbook is by no means all encompassing. An attempt
to present the entire subject of material science would be impractical. However, the Material
Science
handbook does present enough information to provide the reader with a fundamental
knowledge level sufficient to understand the advanced theoretical concepts presented in other
subject areas, and to better understand basic system operation and equipment operations.
