Abstract: | Stress was found to increase the magnitude of irradiation-induced swelling in 316 stainless steel. Measurement of the densities of pressurized tube specimens, irradiated at temperatures of ~ 430–475°C to peak fluences of () in EBR-II, has indicated increased swelling in both the annealed and 20% cold worked conditions of this alloy. Swelling in the annealed specimens was observed to increase linearly with hoop stress up to ~ 20 ksi (130 MPa), whereupon further increases in stress resulted in reduced swelling. Swelling in the cold worked material was linear with stress up to levels of ~ 28 ksi (193 MPa). |
