Grain boundary segregation of impurity elements in reactor pressure vessel steels
The segregation of a number of impurity elements to grain boundaries in reactor pressure vessel steels, under both thermal and irradiation conditions, have been observed to cause embrittlement. In low alloy steels, the embrittlement has been associated with small additions of phosphorus to alloys, a...
