Austenitic Stainless Steels (ASS) are widespread in primary and auxiliary circuits of Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). Moreover, some components suffer stress corrosion cracking (SCC) under neutron irradiation. This degradation could be the result of the increase of hardness and / or the modification of chemical composition at the grain boundary by irradiation. In order to avoid complex and costly corrosion facilities, the effects of radiation hardening on the material are commonly simulated by applying a pre-strain on non-irradiated material prior to stress corrosion cracking tests. The typical features of the cracking process in primary environment at 360°C during CERTs included an initiation stage (composed of a true initiation time and a slow propagation regime leading to a crack depth lower than 50 μm), then a “rapid” propagation stage before mechanical failure. Pre-straining increased significantly CGRs and the mode of pre-straining could strongly modify the crack path. No significant cracking (< 50 μm) was obtained under a pure static loading. A dynamic loading (CERT or cyclic) was required and various thresholds (hardness, elongation, stress) for the occurrence of SCC were determined. An important R&D program is in progress to develop initiation and propagation models for SCC of austenitic SS in primary environment.

Tensile behaviour of two steels with submicrocrystalline structures, i.e. a 304-type austenitic steel and an Fe-27%Cr-9%Ni austenitic-ferritic steel, was studied. The starting materials were subjected to large strain rolling and swaging to a total strain of ∼4 at ambient temperature. The severe deformation resulted in a partial martensitic transformation and the development of highly elongated austenite/ferrite (sub) grains aligned along the deformation axis. In the cold worked state, the transverse grain/subgrain size was about 100 nm in the 304-type steel and about 150 nm in the Fe-27%Cr-9%Ni steel. The grain refinement by severe plastic deformation resulted in increase of ultimate tensile strength to 2000 MPa and 1800 MPa in 304-type and Fe-27%Cr-9%Ni steels, respectively. The phase transformation and recrystallization took place concurrently upon annealing, leading to the development of submicrocrystalline structure consisting of austenite and ferrite grains. No significant softening took place under annealing at temperatures below 600°C. The tensile strength was 1920 MPa in 304-type steel and 1710 MPa in Fe-27%Cr-9%Ni steel after annealing at 500°C for 2 hours.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cold work on the incipient pitting corrosion of 304L stainless steels (304L SS). The as-received (0%-CW) and 20% cold-worked (20%-CW) 304L specimens were corrosion-tested in a salt spray system with a solution of 3.5% simulated seawater for the exposure time ranging from 12, 24, 48, 96 to 192 hrs to characterize the pitting corrosion behavior of 304L SS. Weight gain and microstructures were measured using a microbalance and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), respectively. The dimensions of corrosion pits, depth, length and width, were analyzed by Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) to elucidate the pit growth process. The analysis of the rust and pit features revealed that the degree of corrosion is more severe in the 0%-CW specimen than in the 20%-CW specimen.
