Effect of Mechanical Heterogeneity on Creep and Stress Corrosion Cracking Propagation in Nuclear Safe-End Dissimilar Metal Welded Joints

The dissimilar metal welded joints at the safe ends of nuclear primary circuits are highly susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) initiation in high-temperature, high-pressure water environments. Existing predictive models are predominantly based on homogeneous material assumptions, making it challenging to acc...
