“…The second category relates to the dependence on the steel metallurgical state [458,471] and its alteration under irradiation [45,493,[496][497][498]. The third category ("kinetic" factors) includes the temperature [447,457,458,471,493,494,[499][500][501], the applied strain/loading rate [306,478,493,494,[501][502][503], and, to some extent, the HLM oxygen concentration [493,502,504]. The mechanical testing standard used to investigate LME until the 1990s has almost exclusively focused on either tensile testing or fatigue testing.…”
