TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the sources of carbon uptake in samples during ion irradiation and developed mitigation techniques to identify the source of carbon and to develop mitigation techniques for carbon uptake.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that grain boundary cracking susceptibility was associated with slip continuity, indicating that the strain accommodation at the boundary is related to cracking resistance, and higher susceptibility was also found at grain boundaries adjacent to grains with low Schmid factor or high Taylor factor.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of grain boundary carbide density and strain rate on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) initiation susceptibility of cold rolled 690 were evaluated in 360°C hydrogenated water using slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) tests.

TL;DR: In this paper, void evolution in Fe ++ -irradiated ferritic-martensitic alloy HT9 was characterized in the temperature range of 400-480°C between doses of 25 and 375 displacements per atom (dpa) with pre-implanted helium levels of 0-100appm.

TL;DR: In this article, the deformation microstructure of proton-irradiated stainless steels was investigated using scanning electron microscopy and transmission-empowered microscopy, and the results showed that the slip lines interacted with grain boundaries by grain-to-grain transmission, grain boundary sliding or deformation ledge formation at grain boundaries.
