Summary
Specimens from seven heats of AISI 403, five heats of A542, and one heat of AISI 431 were irradiated at 300 C in pressurized water to find the effect of chemical composition on their irradiated properties. The change in ductile-brittle transition temperature ?T after the maximum integrated fast neutron flux of 1¿̐ư1020 n/cm2, E > 1 MeV, was similar for these steels. Some of the heats were also tested after an integrated flux of 6¿̐ư1019 n/cm2, E > 1 MeV, and the results showed that the latter flux caused saturation of damage in AISI 403. The total impurity concentration of AISI 403 appeared to control the size of ?T at saturation, but there was no such correlation in the other steels. Obversely, the nitrogen concentration of A542 did affect its change of transition temperature for a given flux; a titanium concentration of 0.1 weight percent increased the unirradiated transition temperature but not ?T. AISI 431 is unsuitable for use at 300 C as it is thermally embrittled. Although the ?T values for AISI 403 and A542 were the same, the latter had a lower initial transition temperature.
