Aj. Jacobs et al., USE OF A CONSTANT DEFLECTION TEST TO EVALUATE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO IRRADIATION-ASSISTED STRESS-CORROSION CRACKING, Corrosion, 49(8), 1993, pp. 650-655
A constant deflection test was developed to evaluate the susceptibilit
y of irradiated stainless steel (SS) to irradiation-assisted stress co
rrosion cracking. The test was shown useful in supplementing constant
extension rate tensile or slow strain rate tensile, constant load, and
swelling mandrel tests that have been used in the past. Preliminary d
ata showing the susceptibility of commercial-purity type 304 SS (UNS S
30400) as a function of stress, strain, and fast neutron fluence (E >
1 Me V) were presented.
