Read annotation Download PDF12Cr18Ni9Ti austenitic stainless steel (a material of the automatic control rod for WWR-K reactor active zone) irradiated to 5 dpa at 80°C and annealed at 450–950°C for 1 hr has been studied using TEM, magnetic properties and microhardness measurements. Evolution in fine structure of the irradiated steel resulting from heat treatment was identified (Frank loops and black dots) and it was compared to changes in magnetic properties. It was assumed that magnetism of austenitic steel is associated with Frank loops of certain size (15–20 nm) in which at a relatively low temperatures (≤300°С) and irradiation dozes (<20 dpa) the formation of ferromagnetic α-phase during ε→α-transformation may occur.

Read annotation Download PDFLocalized plastic flow in non-irradiated and irradiated with neutrons 12Cr18Ni10Ti stainless steel was investigated using mechanical testing and deformation microcalorimetric method. Mechanisms of necking evolution attributed to γ→α martensitic transformation were identified.
