  • Patent number: 8270556
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming stress corrosion cracks comprises a heating unit which includes a conductive member and a heating coil disposed adjacent to the conductive member to generate steam pressure in the tube specimen, an end holding unit, and a control unit for controlling the heating unit and the end holding unit. The stress corrosion cracks occurring in the equipment of nuclear power plants or apparatus industries during operation can be directly formed in a tube specimen using steam pressure under conditions similar to those of the actual environment of nuclear power plants, thus increasing accuracy for analysis of properties of stress corrosion cracks which are in actuality generated, thereby improving reliability of nuclear power plants or apparatus industries and effectively assuring nondestructive testing capability, resulting in very useful industrial applicability.

  • Patent number: 7985370
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming longitudinal thermal fatigue cracks. A heating unit has an induction coil disposed adjacent to an outer circumference of one side of a tubular test piece, on an inner surface of which a notch is formed. A cooling unit has a cooling water pump and a cooling water hose which forcibly injects cooling water from a cooling water storage source into an inner circumference of the tubular test piece. A control unit controls operation of the heating and cooling units. A cooling block partially encloses the outer circumference of the tubular test piece so as to control a magnitude of y-axial stress, is supplied with a cooling source of fluid or gas from an outside so as to repetitively cool the tubular test piece heated by the heating unit to adjust a temperature gradient, and has a longitudinal slit for controlling crack positions.
