Simulación del efecto de la irradiación mediante el trabajado en frío y los tratamientos térmicos en dos aceros inoxidables austeníticos

In the present study, annealed type 304 SS was cold worked and heat treated to simulate irradiation hardening, ductility loss and grain boundary segregation. Constant Extension Rate Tensile (CERT) tests were conducted to reproduce Irradiation Assisted Stress Corrosion Cracking (IASCC) in BWR (Boiling Water Reactor) environment.
