Irradiation Effects on Fatigue Crack Propagation in Austenitic Stainless Steels.

Abstract

The effects of fast neutron irradiation on subcritical crack propagation in austenitic stainless steels are reviewed with respect to the influence of irradiation and test temperatures, neutron fluence, hold time effects, and thermomechanical history. Predictive methods for estimating crack propagation performance are discussed. (Author)
