Austenitic stainless steels play vital role in high temperature applications. The components used in fission reactors should have better tensile properties at high temperature. To overcome the issues raised by conventional steels, a new group of steels known as oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are created. Nowadays, two groups of ODS steels such as the ferritic and austenitic ODS steels are being used. The present work mainly focusses on the processing of ODS austenitic steels. The consolidation processes adopted for ODS austenitic steels are discussed in detail. The microstructural features and precipitation of nano-oxides during compaction are also reported. In addition to this, the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation values obtained by various manufacturing processes are also discussed.

Austenitic stainless steels play vital role in high temperature applications. The components used in fission reactors should have better tensile properties at high temperature. To overcome the issues raised by conventional steels, a new group of steels known as oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are created. Nowadays, two groups of ODS steels such as the ferritic and austenitic ODS steels are being used. The present work mainly focusses on the processing of ODS austenitic steels. The consolidation processes adopted for ODS austenitic steels are discussed in detail. The microstructural features and precipitation of nano-oxides during compaction are also reported. In addition to this, the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation values obtained by various manufacturing processes are also discussed.
