The Segregation and Effects of Boron in an Austenitic Stainless Steel

Abstract

The boron autoradiography techniques, using optical and electron microscopy, developed at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, have been described in some detail in two publications by Hughes et al. The present paper illustrates the usefulness of the techniques in the study of the effects of boron on the properties of Type-316 stainless steel.
