Description

A study of the influence of temperature on swelling behaviour in electron irradiated austenitic stainless steels has been performed with a high voltage electron microscope (HVEM) in the temperature range 400 to 720deg C. The specimen materials were solution annealed (SA) 316 stainless steel (SS), cold-worked (CW) 316 SS and Ti-modified austenitic stainless steel (Ti-mod, SS). The electron energy in HVEM was 1 MeV. The results of mean void density, mean void diameter, void swelling rate and incubation dose vs dose and temperature are presented. The irradiation temperature influenced the microstructure, overall sink strength and relative strength of neutral sinks to that of biased sinks in the specimens and so made the void nucleation, void growth and swelling behaviour different in 316 SA, 316 CW and Ti-mod.
