•Standard and additive manufacturing 316L austenitic steels were ion irradiated.•Loop density after irradiation strongly depends on the intra-granular misorientation.•Void swelling of 316L steel starts with cavities near grain boundaries.•Stereomicroscopy is a powerful methodology for loop nature de...
