熱鋭敏化又は照射した316LNステンレス鋼の応力腐食割れに影響する塑性変形挙動を調べた。熱鋭敏化は1033Kで100hとし、中性子照射は473kで1dpaまで行った。これらの試験片に対して、溶存酸素を含む573Kの高温水中にて低ひずみ速度試験を行い、粒界割れ破面率と塑性変形挙動の関係を比較した。真応力-真ひずみ関係でみると、照射材でのひずみ硬化率や照射誘起応力腐食割れ(IASCC)を生じる真応力などの塑性変形挙動は、熱鋭敏化材での塑性変形挙動と同じであった。さらに、粒界割れ破面率に及ぼす歪み速度の影響も同じであった。これらの結果から、1dpa程度まで照射した試験片では、IASCCの発生機構は、熱鋭敏化材の粒界型応力腐食割れ発生機構と同様であると考えられた。
Plastic deformation behavior to influence the stress corrosion cracking was studied for the thermally-sensitized and the irradiated type 316LN stainless steel. SSRT was conducted at 573 K in oxygenated water (DO=10ppm) for specimens. Each of the specimens was thermally sensitized at 1033 K for 100 h or irradiated at 473 K to 1 dpa. Between these specimens, the plastic deformation behavior and the IGSCC were compared. For the irradiated specimens, plastic deformation behavior such as the work hardening capability and the maximum stress where IASCC initiated was similar to that of thermally-sensitized specimens in true stress-true strain relation. Moreover, the effect of strain rate on %IGSCC was the same each other. It was suggested from these results that for specimens irradiated around 1 dpa, the initiation mechanism of IASCC was similar to that of IGSCC for thermally-sensitized specimens.
