Relationship between hardening and damage structure in austenitic stainless steel 316LN irradiated at low temperature in the HFIR

Microstructural characteristics and embrittlement phenomena in neutron irradiated 309L stainless steel RPV clad

“…On the other hand, if high energy neutrons were irradiated to austenitic stainless steels, they will create defects such as vacancy/interstitial (V/I) clusters, stacking faults tetrahedra (SFT), loops, and voids depending on dose, dose rate, irradiation temperature, and so on [14][15][16][17][18]. But, the present TEM observations could not reveal any discernable irradiation-produced defects inside of d and austenite phase.…”

Deformation-induced martensite formation and dislocation channeling in neutron-irradiated 316 stainless steel

“…This barrier strength is probably due to the existence of Frank loops. The estimated a value of a Frank loop has been reported to be 0.5 for neutron-irradiated 316LN irradiated at low temperatures [6]. Fig.…”

Effect of heat treatments on tensile properties of F82H steel irradiated by neutrons

“…Irradiation hardening can be evaluated by Orowan's theory for a thermal bowing of dislocations around obstacles on a slip plane [13,14] as described follows: Test Temperature (C) yield stress in a random crystal, the barrier strength of obstacle, the shear modulus of matrix, the Burger's vector of moving dislocation, the number density of obstacle, respectively. From Eq.…”
