Description
An Auger electron spectroscopy was used to examine grain boundary chromium depletion of the thermally-sensitized type 304 stainless steel (SS) irradiated to low neutron fluences. The chromium depletion was greater for 3 x 1023 n/m2 (E > 1 MeV) and moreover for 1 x 1024 n/m2 than that of the unirradiated SS. It is suggested that the thermally-sensitized SS is prone to be more sensitive to radiation induced segregation than the non-sensitized austenitic SS. (orig.)
