Effect of Neutron Irradiation on Fatigue Crack Propagation in Types 304 and 316 Stainless Steels at High Temperature.

Abstract

The resistance of pre- and postirradiated AISI Types 304 and 316 stainless steels to fatigue crack propagation was determined at 800 and 1100F (427 and 593C) using the fracture mechanics approach. The effect of irradiation on the fatigue resistance of these steels was dependent upon test temperature and irradiation conditions. (Author)
