| The effect of high-energy electron irradiation on the structure and properties of the graphite steels have been investigated. It has been shown that single- and multicycle irradiation allows the improvement of hardness and ductility (≈ twice). A partial dissolution of the graphite, carbides redistribution, and refinement of the grain size allow the formation of the favorable surface structure after irradiation. |
