Resistance, damage, and ionization effects due to irradiation of solids are discussed in relation to various solids. Alterations of solids by radiolytic reactions in liquids, by simultaneous irradiation, and by influence of prior irradiation are briefly presented. Influence of prior irradiation upon catalytic activity is described in detail. (C.J.G.) l863l In iron and ferrous materials, irradiation increases strength and decreases ductility. Yield stress, in general, is increased proportionately more than the ultimate stress, accompanied by a reduced strain-hardening capacity and decreased uniform elongation. In stainless steels, property changes generally appear to saturate at total exposure of lO19 or 1020 nvt. Finally, effects of irradiation on various low-alloy steels are presented.
