Background (2/2)
Archive materials also investigated: Archive A – Representative of HDS which failed during operation, same
manufacturing lot as irradiated samples Archive B – Representative of HDS which completed operational life
without damage
Both archives manufactured from same alloy 718 ingot

Conclusion (1/1)
Failed HDS (Archive A) 2, 24-month cycles – PWR
chemistry High Stress Approximately 0.5 dpa Negligible δ phase
precipitation on GBs
Failure Analysis of Alloy 718 Hold Down Springs – M. Punatar - 11 May 2016
Non-Damaged HDS (Archive B) 3, 18-month cycles – PWR
chemistry High Stress Approximately 0.5 dpa Substantial δ phase precipitation
on GBs
δ precipitates on the grain boundaries of alloy 718 produce a PFZ which facilitates cross-slip leading to localized stress reduction
In the absence of a PFZ, the build up of slip bands at GBs under a high bulk stress state will initiate cracks
Cracks then readily propagate in alloy 718 in a PWR environment
