Description

The changes in fracture toughness (K/sub lc/) and Charpy V-notch characteristics of low impurity and high impurity heats of AISI Type 403 stainless steel with neutron radiation at 5750K were measured. The change in 50 percent shear fracure temperature was a good approximation to the temperature change in the curve of fracture toughness versus temperature. Arguments are presented for simulating the elastic fracture characteristics of irradiated ferritic steels by lowering the test temperature of unirradiated components. For air-melted AISI Type 403 stainless steel, this temperature difference varied from 35 to 950K
