Title: Austenitic stainless steel alloys having improved resistance to fast neutron-induced swelling

Full Record
Other Related Research

Abstract

The present invention is based on the discovery that radiation-induced voids which occur during fast neutron irradiation can be controlled by small but effective additions of titanium and silicon. The void-suppressing effect of these metals in combination is demonstrated and particularly apparent in austenitic stainless steels.
