High-resolution characterisation of austenitic stainless steel in PWR environments: Effect of strain and surface finish on crack initiation and propagation

<p>Initiation and propagation of cracks under simulated primary water conditions and different slow strain rates have been studied for an austenitic 304-type stainless steel. Two surface finishes were used to better understand the conditions that trigger SCC.</p> <br/> <p>The...
