Book Description
The aluminum alloy 6061-T651 was a candidate material for several critical components of the proposed Advanced Neutron Source (ANS) research reactor. In order to determine the effects of irradiation on the mechanical properties of this alloy, irradiations have been conducted in the High Flux Isotope Reactor under conditions that are similar to those predicted for the ANS. Compact and tensile specimens of 6061-T651 aluminum were irradiated at a nominal temperature of 95°C to a thermal neutron fluence of approximately 8 x 1026 m-2 (
