Abstract
The austenitic stainless steels in nuclear reactors suffer serious corrosion issues due to the the coupling effect of irradiation damage and hydrogen. Voids have a strong capability to trap hydrogen, reducing the corrosion resistance. There is still no effective strategy to improve the resistance to irradiation and hydrogen-induced corrosion. Here, increasing the alloying elements (Cr, Mo), and decreasing (Fe, Ni, Mn) can enhance the irradiation damage resistance of austenitic stainless steel, which changed defect type from voids to stacking faults, and further reducing hydrogen capture ability, resulting in enhanced resistance of irradiation and hydrogen-induced corrosion of austenitic stainless steel.
