Kohonen mapping of the crack growth under fatigue loading conditions of stainless steels in BWR environments and of nickel alloys in PWR environments

In situ observation of short fatigue crack propagation in oxygenated water at elevated temperature and pressure

“…No attempt is made to relate these crack growth rates to environmental conditions, although it is noted that they are of the same magnitude as typical fatigue crack growth rates in austenitic stainless steel under BWR conditions, such as reported in [24]. There are variations in the growth rates that might be attributable to microstructure effects.…”
