MibaLeb is expected to make a decisive contribution to this. The overall goal of the second project phase is to transfer the results, findings and methods to real and actually loaded materials and components in order to provide reliable information on the integrity and remaining service life of nuclear power plants.The aim of the WWHK subproject is to determine individual ageing states that correspond to the damage states of real components. For this purpose, the damage is to be recorded using NDT methods on real components and transferred to solution-annealed specimens of the same chemical composition by means of thermal and mechanical loads. This should make it possible to carry out accompanying tests in the sense of the StrainLife lifetime calculation method without reducing the structural integrity of the component. A second focus is the further development of the StrainLife method with regard to a multi-parameter approach, in particular to better describe the transition from the LCF to the HCF range. These working points are accompanied by analytical investigations for material and damage characterization.

The subproject is carried out in cooperation with Saarland University, TU Dortmund University, MPA University Stuttgart and the Society for Plant and Reactor Safety Cologne
