Abstract
12Kh18N9T austenitic stainless steel was tested for the intercrystalline corrosion. The testing was carried out for samples irradiated in a BN-350 reactor with a dose of 27 dpa in a temperature range of 280–340°C. The defects formed during the corrosion tests were studied by means of optical microscopy. The phase composition of the irradiated steel was established using X-ray structural analysis, and its microstructure was investigated by electron microscopy.
