Effect of Neutron Irradiation on Nanoclusters in MA957 Ferritic Alloys

Journal Article · · Journal of Nuclear Materials

The effects of neutron irradiation to a dose of 3 dpa at 600 C and creep for 38,555 h at 800 C on the microstructure of a commercial MA957 alloy were investigated by atom probe tomography. The size, number density and composition of the 2-nm-diameter Ti-, Y-, O-enriched nanoclusters were similar in the unirradiated, crept and neutron irradiated conditions indicating that the microstructure of this nanostructured ferritic alloy has remarkable tolerance to radiation damage.
