Swelling of several commercial alloys following high fluence neutron irradiation
Swelling values have been determined for a set of commercial alloys irradiated to a peak fluence of 17.8 x 10/sup 22/ n/cm/sup 2/ (E > 0.1 MeV) over the temperature range of 400 to 650/sup 0/C. The alloys studied fall into three classes: the ferritic alloys AISI 430F, AISI 416, EM-12, H-11 and 2 1/4 Cr-1 Mo; the superalloys Inconel 718 and Inconel X-750; and the refractory alloys TZM and Nb-1 Zr. After irradiation to a peak fluence approaching goal exposures envisioned for advanced fusion reactor first walls, all of the alloys display swelling resistance far superior to cold worked AISI 316. Of the three alloy classes examined the swelling resistance of the ferritics is the least sensitive to composition.
