Effect of Neutron Irradiation on the Elastic Constants of Type-304 Stainless Steel
An ultrasonic technique was used to determine elastic moduli of Type-304 stainless-steel samples irradiated to fluences as high as 7.5 x 10/suip 22/ n/cm/ sup 2/ (E> 0.1 MeV). Significant decreases in the elastic moduli were found, which correlate linearly with irradiation-induced swelling. The Young's modulus was found to decrease~2.4%~ per 1% swelling.
