The austenite and ferrite phases of the steels are about 88:12. The average austenite and ferrite grain size of the plane normal to rolling, transverse and normal directions of the hot rolled specimens are about , , , , and [mm], respectively. The average micro-hardness of the as-cast specimen is Hv, whereas, that of the hot-rolled specimen are , and [Hv] for the plane normal to RD, TD and ND, respectively. | Corrosion and mechanical properties of hot-rolled steels in a simulated nuclear waste treatment solution Nuclear Engineering and Technology 51 (2019) 207e213 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Nuclear Engineering and Technology journal homepage: Original Article Corrosion and mechanical properties of hot-rolled stainless steels in a simulated nuclear waste treatment solution Moo Young Jung a, Youl Baik a, Yong Choi a, .

The austenite and ferrite phases of the steels are about 88:12. The 3 August 2018 average austenite and ferrite grain size of the plane normal to rolling, transverse and normal directions of Accepted 21 August 2018 Available online 10 September 2018 the hot rolled specimens are about , , , , and [mm], respectively. The average micro-hardness of the as-cast specimen is Hv, whereas, that of the hot-rolled specimen are , and [Hv] for the plane normal to RD, TD and ND, respectively. The UTS, YS and Keywords: Gd-B-stainless steel elongation of the as-cast and the hot-rolled specimen are 699, 484 [MPa], , and 654, 432 [MPa] and Corrosion , respectively. The passivity was observed both for the as-cast and the hot rolled specimens in a Neutron absorbing materials simulated .
