Impact behavior of reduced-activation steels irradiated to 24 dpa
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory, TN (United States)
Charpy impact properties of eight reduced-activation Cr-W ferritic steels were determined after irradiation to {approx}21-24 dpa in the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) at 365{degree}C. Chromium concentrations in the eight steels ranged from 2.25 to 12wt% Cr (steels contained {approx}0.1%C). the 2 1/4Cr steels contained variations of tungsten and vanadium, and the steels with 5, 9, and 12% Cr, contained a combination of 2% W and 0.25% V. A 9Cr in FFTF to {approx}6-8 and {approx}15-17 dpa. Irradiation caused an increase in the DBTT and decrease in the USE, but there was little further change in the DBTT from that observed after the 15-17 dpa irradiation, indicating that the shift had essentially saturated with fluence. The results are encouraging because they indicate that the effect of irradiation on toughness can be faorably affected by changing composition and microstructure.
