Irradiation-Induced Stress Corrosion Cracking of Austenitic Stainless Steels. In recent years, failures of reactor internal components have been observed after the components have reached neutron fluence levels ... The general pattern of the observed failures indicates that as nuclear plants age and fluence increases, various apparently nonsensitized austenitic stainless steels become susceptible to intergranular failure ... Irradiation produces defects and defect clusters in grain matrices and alters the dislocation network, dislocation loop, and dislocation channel structures, leading to radiation-induced hardening. Irradiation also leads to changes in the stability of second-phase precipitates and the local chemistry near grain boundaries, precipitates, and defect clusters. 2, record 2, English, - irradiation%2Dassisted%20stress%20corrosion

Cuivrage mince ou en sous-couche. Ce type de cuivrage est le plus répandu industriellement par le nombre d’applications. Les bains de cuivrage cyanuré y trouvent leur domaine d’utilisation principale et dans une moindre mesure les bains au pyrophosphate, pour constituer la sous-couche de cuivre sur alliages de zinc moulés, alliages d’aluminium ou aciers. Ce cuivrage précède alors le nickelage, l'étamage ou d’autres dépôts. Il sert à prévenir des dépôts par déplacement non adhérents, à réduire plus ou moins des irrégularités de surfaces(nivellement), à améliorer la résistance à la corrosion par réduction de la porosité [...] et à limiter la fragilisation par l'hydrogène. 2, record 4, French, - cuivrage%20mince%20en%20continu
