The automotive industries employ laser beam welding because it realizes a high energy density without generating irradiation marks on the opposite side of the irradiated surface. Typical measurement techniques such as strain gauges and tube X-rays cannot assess the localized strain at a joint weld. Herein high-energy synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction was used to study the internal strain distribution of laser lap joint PNC-FMS steels (2- and 5-mm thick) under loading at a high temperature. As the tensile load increased, the local tensile and compressive strains increased near the interface. These changes agreed well with the finite element analysis results. However, it is essential to complementarily utilize internal defect observations by X-ray transmission imaging because the results depend on the defects generated by laser processing.

Times Cited Count：12 Percentile：49.22(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)-synuclein (Syn) is an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) with unknown function. Syn is known to form amyloid fibrils, which are implicated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and other synucleinopathies. Elucidating the mechanism of fibril formation of Syn is therefore important for understanding the mechanism of the pathogenesis of these diseases. Here, using the quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques, we investigated the dynamic and structural properties of Syn. These results imply that fibril formation of Syn requires not only the enhanced local motions but also the segmental motions such that the proper inter-molecular interactions are possible.

Laser welding of ferritic/martensitic steel (PNC-FMS) sheets with different thicknesses (2 mm and 5 mm) was examined to investigate the weldability between the inner and outer duct in fast reactor fuel assemblies with inner duct structure (FAIDUS); the objective of the inner duct is to avoid the re-criticality in case of the core melting accident. Laser-spot and melt-run welding was performed at various laser powers, welding times and velocities to find out the appropriate welding conditions with few defects and enough penetration depth. As for the spot welding, furthermore, slow cooling rate or pulsed laser irradiation could reduce the crack and porosity in the welded zone. The strain of the welded zone almost disappeared and the hardness was comparable with that of the base metal by applying post welding heat treatment at 690 
C for 103 min. In addition, the shear strength of welded joints was confirmed to be sufficiently higher than the provisional allowance shear stress. These results indicate that laser welding would be probably applied to the PNC-FMS inner and outer ducts.

In order to clarify an anneal effect of internal strain in dissimilar materials by laser welding, internal strain measurements using high energy synchrotron white X-rays were carried out at BL14B1 in SPring-8. The specimens were dissimilar materials made by laser welding between ferritic/martensitic steel (PNC-FMS) and SUS316 austenitic stainless steel. In this study, we measured the internal strain distribution of three kinds of specimens which changed a laser irradiation condition and it was found that the tensile strain in ferritic/martensitic steel occurred in all specimens before annealing but the residual strain in austenitic stainless steel was not so remarkable. It is thought that these reasons are related to the mechanical characteristic of both the materials. On the other hand, in all specimens after annealing, it was found that the residual strain in both the materials did not almost exist.

The laser welding method is expected to be applied to the joint between inner and outer ducts for the fast reactor fuel assemblies with inner duct structure. In this study, an anneal effect of the residual stresses in the laser welded steel was investigated using the in-situ strain measurement technique with high energy synchrotron X-rays. We have succeeded in observation of the phenomenon that elastic strain is relaxed before annealing process and the dislocation density gradually decreases thereafter. In addition it was found that the FWHM is a useful parameter for in-situ evaluation of the heat treatment process to effectively optimize the heat treatment condition.
