In-reactor stress relaxation in bending of 20% cold-worked 316 stainless steel

  • 1. General Electric Co., Sunnyvale, Calif. (USA). Fast Breeder Reactor Dept.

Description

A test is in progress to measure in-reactor stress relaxation of 20% cold-worked 316 stainless steel in bending through the sequential irradiation in the experimental reactor EBR-II of two materials capsules. This paper details the results from the first capsule, the second capsule has completed irradiation and is awaiting examination. Approximately 50% total relaxation was measured following irradiation to 2x1021n/cm2, E>0.1 MeV at 3700C. The extent of relaxation was independent of specimen orientation to rolling direction, independent of initial stress level and only weakly dependent on neutron dose at this fluence level
