    Abstract

    Recent experimental work tends to indicate that embrittlement and swelling due to radiation by fast neutrons are not so important in ferritic as in austenitic stainless steels. For this reason, a Fe-13 Cr-Ti-Mo ferritic alloy has been developed as material for a fast reactor. This alloy is compatible with a sodium environment and derives its mechanical properties from solid-solution hardening and χ-phase precipitation. Mechanical properties have been investigated on this ferritic alloy in the cold rolled and annealed conditions. Stress rupture properties at 550°C have been compared with those of two commercial ferritic steels namely the X 20 Cr Mo (W) V and X 10 Cr 13 steels.
