General Electric, in collaboration with several partners, proposes to develop a novel stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and irradiation resistant 316L stainless steel with high strength and good ductility using the direct metal laser melting process to save on both deployment schedules and overall life cycle costs with improved plant reliability, and to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of this process in nuclear applications.
