Applicability of nonlinear ultrasonic technique to evaluation of thermally aged CF8M cast stainless steel

Cast austenitic stainless steel (CASS) is used for fabricating different components of the primary reactor coolant system of pressurized water reactors. However, the thermal embrittlement of CASS resulting from long-term operation causes structural safety problems. Ultrasonic testing for flaw detect...
