Duplex stainless steels (DSS) suffer from thermal aging embrittlement after long-term service
in the temperature range of 280-320° C, leading to severe deterioration of mechanical …

Since the 1980s, vacuum hot rolling has been developed to fabricate the stainless steel clad
plates by the Iron and Steel Institute of Japan. Herein, hot rolling is a widely used solid-state …

By combining atom probe tomography (APT) with transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
we have attempted to identify the stage at which solute clusters transform into compounds …

In the harsh service environment of high temperature and intense neutron irradiation in
water-cooled nuclear reactors, the austenitic stainless steel weld overlay cladding on the …

FeCrAl alloys are promising candidates for next generation nuclear fuel cladding
applications due to their high resistance to hydrothermal corrosion, high temperature steam …

Tensile shear test is a suitable method to measure the interfacial bonding properties of
stainless steel clad plates with thin cladding layer. Herein, three kinds of testing samples …

Abstract High aluminum content (> 5 wt.%) duplex stainless steels were developed as
accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding materials for light water reactors. A set of model …

Oxidation resistance and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of A508Ⅲ-309 L/308
L stainless steel (SS) claddings were investigated in simulated pressurized water reactor …

This study investigated coupling of thermal aging with irradiation corrosion, and carried out
the microstructure and electrochemical characterization of 308 L stainless steel (SS). The …

Solute clustering and G-phase precipitation cause hardening phenomena observed in some
low alloy and stainless steels, respectively. Density functional theory was used to investigate …
