The primary purpose of this investigation was to study the various causes of embrittlement in 304 and 316 Type stainless steels. The potential causes of embrittlement are: (1) Grain boundary carbide precipitation (2) Grain boundary phosphorus segregation (3) Grain boundary martensite formation (4) Sigma phase fonnation}, url = {http://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8074}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/M4N29V22}, }
