“…Such loading conditions may be reproduced on a test set-up with the stiffness comparable to that of the specimen. For this purpose, the "Neutron-5'' set-up [8] was used in the present investigation. During the hold time, specimens suffered stress relaxation with the stress decreasing in proportion to the specimen's creep deformation; the proportionality factor being equal to the total stiffness of the set-up [8].…”

An investigation has been carried out on austenitic stainless steel OKh16N15M3B under normal conditions and also to neutron irradiation of 6.8 x 10I6 nm-2 s-' ( E 0. I MeV) intensity. Thin-walled torsion cylindrical specimens were tested in straincontrolled fully reversed loading mode at 923 K. Various ranges of strain, pre-loading fluences and half-cycle hold times (1, 5 and 30min) were applied. Neutron irradiation was found to result in hardening of the steel, stimulating cyclic stress relaxation and a reduction in cyclic life. When acting together, neutron irradiation and static loads cause a more significant reduction in the number of cycles to failure than if summed up as independent factors. Application of a kinetic failure criterion based on a damage parameter enables an estimation to be made of the limiting state of the steel under high-temperature cyclic loading with hold periods.
