- Summary
- The Doublet III-D vacuum vessel will enable fusion experiments with large dee-configuration plasmas in the tokamak device at GA Technologies Inc. The vessel is a welded structure of Ni-Cr-Mo-Nb alloy Inconel 625, in the forms of mill-annealed plate and sheet. An emphasis was placed on spceifying material with small grain size to enhance fatigue resistance. Fatigue strength was determined by tension-compression axial strain cycling of specimens excised from stock plate 25 mm thick. In addition, tests were conducted on gas-tungsten-arc weldments. The strain ranges and the resulting alternating, which produced fatigue lives between 103 and 10/sup 6/ cycles, were determined in the test program. Comparisons are presented with published data obtained using the rotating-beam test method. A discussion is also presented on the effect of the grain size on fatigue strength.
