Rapid heating tensile tests of uncharged, hydrogen-charged, and tritium-charged-and-aged stainless steels are being used to determine effects of internal hydrogen and helium on fracture modes and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Testing of high-energy-rate-forged (HERF) 316L stainless steel at temperatures up to near 1200{degree}C revealed that internal hydrogen has only slight effects on mechanical properties whereas internal helium from radioactive decay of tritium causes severe embrittlement at temperatures above 500{degree}C. 3 refs., 23 figs., 2 tabs.
