Description

A program is in progress to study the effects of irradiation on the SCC behavior of AISI-304 stainless steel in high-temperature water. A series of Constant Extension Rate Tensile tests have been completed at 288lt. slashC in oxygenated water on annealed materials machined from irradiated reactor components. The tests confirmed that high levels of irradiation promote Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking in AISI-304 stainless steel, and that a threshold fluence exists for high plastic strain levels at about 5x10blt. slash n/cmb (E>1 MeV)
