Abstract
The fracture of a carbon steel pneumatic control valve rod used for Nuclear Power Plants was analyzed in terms of the microstructure, inclusions and fractogragh by means of tensile test, charpy V-Notch impact test, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The results indicated that the fracture of the rod is induced by the unqualified chemical composition: a large number of inclusions which distribute in grain boundaries reduce the material plasticity and toughness, and eventually cause fracture.
