Characterisation of the microstructural evolution in the austenitic stainless steel Esshete 1250 and the impact on mechanical properties for use in power generation components

Abstract Austenitic stainless steels used in power generation, such as Esshete 1250 (which was developed in the 1960s), are typically utilised in structural components and pipework within advanced gas cooled reactors (AGRs) for their good weldability, creep strength and corrosion resistance. Compone...
