Abstract
Metallographic techniques have been developed for examination of wire wrap sections of neutron irradiated AISI 316 stainless steel from EBR-II. The special etching techniques used for metallographic examination of radiation and thermally induced precipitates, including sigma or chi phases and alpha ferrite, are documented. A description is given of the preparation of standard 3 mm dia TEM foils using a nickel plating technique to increase the effective size of the original 1.1–1.4 mm dia wires.
