AISI-348: An unstable austenitic stainless steel in particle irradiation environments

In two recent papers, we evaluate the application of the austenitic stainless steel AISI-348 in nuclear reactors. By using advanced electron microscopy techniques, it was found that the austenite phase can be quite unstable in energetic particle environments. Two very good works, don’t miss reading them! =]
