Thermodynamic and Kinetic Modeling on Thermal Segregation of Phosphorus in Iron
- Oak Ridge National Lab. (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
Radiation induced segregation (RIS) has been frequently reported in structural materials such as austenitic, ferritic, and ferritic-martensitic stainless steels (SS) that have been widely used in light water reactors (LWRs). RIS has been linked to secondary degradation effects in SS including irradiation induced stress corrosion cracking (IASCC). Earlier studies on thermal segregation in Fe based alloys found that metalloids elements such as P, S, Si, Ge, Sn etc. embrittle the materials when enrichment was observed at grain boundaries. RIS of Fe-Cr-Ni based austenitic steels has been modeled in the U.S. 2015 fiscal year (FY2015), which identified the pre-enrichment due to thermal segregation can have an important role on the subsequent RIS. The goal of this work is to develop thermal segregation models for alloying elements in steels for future integration with RIS modeling.
