Microstructural examination of commercial ferritic alloys at 200 dpa
- Pacific Northwest Lab., Richland, WA (United States)
Microstructures and density change measurements are reported for Martensitic commercial steels HT-9 and Modified 9Cr-1Mo (T9) and oxide dispersion strengthened ferritic alloys MA956 and MA957 following irradiation in the FFTF/MOTA at 420{degrees}C to 200 DPA. Swelling as determined by density change remains below 2% for all conditions. Microstructures are found to be stable except in recrystallized grains of MA957, which are fabrication artifacts, with only minor swelling in the Martensitic steels and {alpha}{prime} precipitation in alloys with 12% or more chromium. These results further demonstrate the high swelling resistance and microstructural stability of the ferritic alloy class.
