Abstract
The mechanical properties of two explosively formed saddle shaped 60mm thick plates of 316L(N)-IG steel with and without an electron beam weld have been investigated. Two different conditions have been characterized: (1) Reference condition and (2) ITER relevant condition. The reference material exhibits consistent results for both plates, mechanical properties of reference material are similar to the properties previously observed for 316L(N)-IG steels. No significant difference in mechanical properties and microstructure between different positions in the 60mm plate is observed.Tensile properties for ITER relevant materials are found to comply both with the RCC-MR code qualified data for 316L(N) steel used for the structural design and with ITER Materials Properties Handbook. As expected total elongation and uniform elongation for weld material are lower than the average curves obtained for the base material.
