Environmentally assisted crack growth in 308L stainless steel weld metal in simulated primary water

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the crack growth behavior of 304 and 316 stainless steels under the same environmental and loading conditions and found that the environmental fatigue crack growth rate of 304L weld metal was lower than that of 316L. This was attributed to the retardation of crack growth by δ ferrite phase.
