Neutron irradiation induced microstructural changes in NBG-18 and IG-110 nuclear graphites

Journal Article Karthik, Chinnathambi ; Kane, Joshua ; Butt, Darryl P. ; ... - Carbon

This paper reports the neutron-irradiation-induced effects on the microstructure of NBG-18 and IG-110 nuclear graphites. The high-temperature neutron irradiation at two different irradiation conditions was carried out at the Advanced Test Reactor National User Facility at the Idaho National Laboratory. NBG-18 samples were irradiated to 1.54 dpa and 6.78 dpa at 430 °C and 678 °C respectively. IG-110 samples were irradiated to 1.91 dpa and 6.70 dpa at 451 °C and 674 °C respectively. Bright-field transmission electron microscopy imaging was used to study the changes in different microstructural components such as filler particles, microcracks, binder and quinoline-insoluble (QI) particles.

Characterization of structural defects in nuclear graphite IG-110 and NBG-18

Journal Article Zheng, Guiqiu ; Xu, Peng ; Sridharan, Kumar ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Nuclear graphite IG-110 and NBG-18 were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM) to understand the structure and microstructure of nuclear graphite. The lattice parameter (a), degree of graphitization ( ), crystallite size parallel and perpendicular to c-direction (Lc and L ), anisotropy (B), as well as in-plane crystallite size (La) were calculated and compared based on XRD patterns and Raman spectra. Results indicate that IG-110 has a larger crystallite size and higher degree of graphitization, but lower anisotropy than NBG-18. These differences are attributed to the properties ofmore »« less

Comparison of NBG-18, NBG-17, IG-110 and IG-11 oxidation kinetics in air

Journal Article Lee, Jo Jo ; Ghosh, Tushar K. ; Loyalka, Sudarshan K. - Journal of Nuclear Materials

In this paper, the oxidation rates of several nuclear-grade graphites, NBG-18, NBG-17, IG-110 and IG-11, were measured in air using thermogravimetry. Kinetic parameters and oxidation behavior for each grade were compared by coke type, filler grain size and microstructure. The thickness of the oxidized layer for each grade was determined by layer peeling and direct density measurements. The results for NBG-17 and IG-11 were compared with those available in the literature and our recently reported results for NBG-18 and IG-110 oxidation in air. The finer-grained graphites IG-110 and IG-11 were more oxidized than medium-grained NBG-18 and NBG-17 because of deepermore »« less

Microstructural characterization data of as received IG-110, 2114 and ETU-10 nuclear graphite grades and oxidation characterization data of IG-110

Journal Article Arregui-Mena, José David ; Griffiths, D. V. ; Worth, Robert N. ; ... - Data in Brief

This manuscript provides optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy micrographs that show the microstructure of three superfine nuclear graphite grades IG-110, 2114 and ETU-10. This collection of microstructural data showcases the microstructure of these materials and helps to differentiate the most important features or phases of these graphite grades. In particular, the microstructural data illustrate the filler and binder morphology of these grades. Moreover, samples of as-received and oxidized IG-110 were characterized via optical microscopy and x-ray computed tomography. The microstructural data of oxidized IG-110 shows the porosity generated by oxidation experiments. These micrographs and data providemore »« less

Thermophysical property and pore structure evolution in stressed and non-stressed neutron irradiated IG-110 nuclear graphite

Journal Article Snead, Lance ; Contescu, Christian I. ; Byun, Thak Sang ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

The nuclear graphite, IG-110, was irradiated with and without a compressive load of 5 MPa at ~400 *C up to 9.3E25 n/m2 (E > 0.1 MeV). Following irradiation physical properties were studied to compare the effect of graphite irradiation on microstructure developed under compression and in stress-free conditions. Properties included: dimensional change, thermal conductivity, dynamic modulus, and CTE. The effect of stress on open internal porosity was determined through nitrogen adsorption. The IG-110 graphite experienced irradiation-induced creep that is differentiated from irradiation-induced swelling. Irradiation under stress resulted in somewhat greater thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion. While a significantmore »« less
