Abstract
The stress relaxation behavior of 14YWT and ODS-Eurofer97 was examined within the framework of an internal-variable theory of inelastic deformation. Stress versus strain rate curves obtained by stress relaxation tests for 14YWT were described well by the equations for grain-matrix deformation while those of ODS-Eurofer97 were fitted with the combined curves of grain matrix deformation and grain boundary sliding. The sudden drop of total elongation of 14YWT was discussed in light of fracture surface observations. Grain boundary decohesion at 900 C was identified.
