Abstract:Experimental data on the influence of neutron irradiation on the plasticity characteristics of chromium–nickel austenite steels have been analyzed. Special attention is devoted to detection of anomalously high plasticity levels attained at some parameters of irradiation and deformation, which is explained by the formation and propagation of a “phase transformation wave” in the metastable steel. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the realization of this wave are formulated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
