    Abstract

    The present article is part of a broader effort aimed at assessing the possibility of tailoring the plasticity of austenitic stainless steels for structural applications in nuclear reactors. Three annealed heats of 316 stainless steel with large differences in stacking fault energy, carbon content, and ferrite content were used to study deformation and aging behaviors. Deformation of samples was investigated at room temperature by conventional tensile testing and at 350°C by in situ neutron diffraction tensile testing. Aging was studied after 15h at 750°C through X ray diffraction and nanoindentation.
