In this paper, an experimental investigation on effect and mechanism of in-plane constraint induced by crack depth on local fracture resistance of two cracks (A508 heat-affected-zone (HAZ) crack and A508/Alloy52Mb interface crack) located at the weakest region in an Alloy52M dissimilar metal welded joint (DMWJ) between A508 ferritic steel and 316L stainless steel in nuclear power plants has been carried out. The results show that the local fracture resistance of the two cracks is sensitive to in-plane constraint. With increasing in-plane constraint (crack depth a/W), the fracture mechanism of the two cracks changes from ductile fracture through mixed ductile and brittle fracture to brittle fracture, and the corresponding crack growth resistance decreases. The crack growth path in the specimens with different in-plane constraints deviates to low-strength material side, and is mainly controlled by local strength mismatch, rather than toughness mismatch. For accurate and reliable safety design and failure assessment of the DMWJ structures, it needs to consider the effects of in-plane constraint on fracture mechanism and local fracture resistance. The new safety design and failure assessment methods incorporating constraint effect need to be developed for the DMWJ structures. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
