The effect of thermocycling treatment on the susceptibility to local corrosion and mechanical characteristics of corrosion-resistant steel 12Kh18N10T in different states (after austenitizing, cold rolling, and neutron irradiation) is considered. The possibility of partial recovery of the corrosion and mechanical characteristics of irradiated reactor steel due to low-cycle thermocycling in a temperature range exceeding the irradiation temperature is demonstrated.
