. Regularities of the changes in the structural phase composition and mechanical properties of the investigated alloy are established as a result of electron irradiation. Scientifically grounded recommendations are given for selecting modes of thermomechanical treatment, supplemented by irradiation and ensuring the optimum combination of strength and ductility in 36% Ni, 12% Cr, 3% Ti, 1% Al age-hardened austenitic steel.
