N2 - Experimental and analytical research is being carried out
in an industrially oriented project cluster dealing with
estimating and managing lifetime of critical structural
components in energy industry. The research topics
include systematic component lifetime management,
lifetime of pressure bearing components, piping
vibrations and integrity management, management of
materials ageing, non-destructive inspection, water
chemistry, oxide films and their role in service
reliability and build-up of activity levels, stress
corrosion cracking in Inconel welds, irradiation assisted
stress corrosion cracking of core components, development
of crack growth testing methods as well as the mechanisms
of environmentally assisted cracking.
