Mechanical properties of type 316 stainless steel materials after irradiation at 5150C and 5850C
Description
Three different heats of type 316 SS base metal plate metals and three different weld metals produced by shielded metal arc, submerged arc, and gas tungsten arc processes with type 316 SS filler metal were used in the Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor (GCFR) Structural Materials Irradiation Experiment. Pre-irradiation strength and ductility properties over the range 240C to 6500C were very similar for the three base metal heats and were within the expected range for this alloy. The three welds showed variations in strength and ductility before irradiation, but properties were generally within the range of previous experience for austenitic stainless steel welds. Weld metals showed higher yield strength but lower uniform and total elongations than those of base metal
