AbstractSamples of austenitic 304L stainless steel have been irradiated with 3.4 MeV protons to atotal dose of 1 dpa. The microstructure of the irradiated stainless steel has been quantified by transmission electron microscopy and shown to be similar to that found in neutron-irradiated core components. Constant extension rate tensile tests have been performed at strain rates of 3x10−7 s−1 and 3x10−8 s−1 to strains of up to 27% at 23°C and 288°C. The resulting microstructures were characterized using electron and optical microscopy. Deformation of the unirradiated material is similar to that reported by others in previous work on austenitic steels, consisting of dislocation source activation and formation of dense dislocation networks with increasing strain. In the irradiated samples tested at 288°C, deformation consists of dislocation source activation at grain boundaries punching dislocations through the grain interior to the opposing grain boundaries. The dislocations create channels that are free of radiation-produced defects and on which dislocation motion is concentrated. Dislocations in the channels pile-up at the boundaries, creating regions of highly localized stress concentration at the grain boundary. The mechanism by which this stress is relieved is still unknown. Deformation at 23°C consists of the nucleation and propagation of microtwins across the width of the grains.

A gradient nanostructured layer (GNsL) was generated on the two sides of bulk sample in 304L stainless steel by means of the surface mechanical attrition treatment. The microstructure of the GNsL was characterized via TEM observation. The prominent microstructural features involve the intersection of multi-system twin operation, subdividing the original grains into blocks, a martensite transformation mainly occurring at the interface of the twins as well, and the randomly orientated nanocrystallites at the top of surface. After annealing at 750°C for 10 min, recovery had occurred and the dislocation density was much reduced. The vast majority of the grains at the top surface were in the nanocrystalline/ultrafine range, with some recrystallization regions. The uniaxial tensile tests were performed to obtain the mechanical property of bulk samples with GNsL. The yield strength was about 2 times higher than that of the coarse-grained counterpart, but with a decrease in uniform elongation and elongation to failure as well. The relationship between the microstructure and mechanical property was discussed in detail.

Abstract Carpenter Project 70+ Type 304/304L is a modified version of Type 304/304L stainless steel with improved machinability when compared to conventional 304 (Alloy Digest SS-418, revised September 1997) and 304L (Alloy Digest SS-513, revised November 1997). The alloys are nonhardenable austenitic chromium-nickel steels and are good general-purpose materials for simple and complex parts. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and elasticity. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-875. Producer or source: Carpenter Specialty Alloys.
