Abstract
This paper deals with fracture of neutron irradiated austenitic Ti-stabilized stainless steel 08Ch18N10T. The steel had been tested in air and in water environment (320°C) using several tests representing different stress strain conditions for crack initiation and growth; Slow Strain Rate and Crack Growth Rate tests were performed in the water. Without irradiation the steel did not suffer from stress corrosion cracking in the water, but on irradiated specimens appeared areas of intergranular fracture mixed with transgranular cleavage-like facets and secondary cracks typical for IASCC phenomenon. The differences between fracture of irradiated and non-irradiated specimens in air and in water are documented and discussed.
