Title: The effect of helium implantation on the deformation behaviour of tungsten: X-ray micro-diffraction and nanoindentation

Abstract

Here, the effect of helium-implantation-induced defects on deformation behaviour is examined by comparing spherical nano-indents in unimplanted and helium-implanted regions of a tungsten single crystal. Helium-implantation increases hardness and causes large pileups. 3D-resolved X-ray micro-diffraction uniquely allows examination of the complex lattice distortions beneath specific indents. In the ion-implanted material we find reduced lattice rotations and residual strains due to indentation, indicating a more confined plastic zone. Together, our observations suggest that helium-induced defects initially act as efficient obstacles to dislocation motion, but are weakened by the subsequent passage of dislocations, causing a reduction in work hardening capacity.

Hardening and Strain Localisation in Helium-Ion-Implanted Tungsten

Journal Article Das, Suchandrima ; Yu, Hongbing ; Tarleton, Edmund ; ... - Scientific Reports

Tungsten is the main candidate material for plasma-facing armour components in future fusion reactors. In-service, fusion neutron irradiation creates lattice defects through collision cascades. Helium, injected from plasma, aggravates damage by increasing defect retention. Both can be mimicked using helium-ion-implantation. In a recent study on 3000 appm helium-implanted tungsten (W-3000He), we hypothesized helium-induced irradiation hardening, followed by softening during deformation. The hypothesis was founded on observations of large increase in hardness, substantial pile-up and slip-step formation around nano-indents and Laue diffraction measurements of localised deformation underlying indents. Here we test this hypothesis by implementing it in a crystal plasticity finitemore »« less

Helium-implantation-induced lattice strains and defects in tungsten probed by X-ray micro-diffraction

Journal Article Das, S. ; Liu, W. ; Xu, R. ; ... - Materials & Design

Tungsten is the main candidate material for plasma-facing armour components in future fusion reactors. Bombardment with energetic fusion neutrons causes collision cascade damage and defect formation. Interaction of defects with helium, produced by transmutation and injected from the plasma, modifies defect retention and behaviour. Here we investigate the residual lattice strains caused by different doses of helium-ion-implantation into tungsten and tungsten-rhenium alloys. Energy and depth-resolved synchrotron X-ray micro-diffraction uniquely permits the measurement of lattice strain with sub-micron 3D spatial resolution and ~10^-4 strain sensitivity. Increase of helium dose from 300 appm to 3000 appm increases volumetric strain by only ~2.4more »« less

The role of helium implantation induced vacancy defect on hardening of tungsten

Journal Article Ou, Xin ; State Key Laboratory of Functional Material for Informatics, Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 200250 ; Anwand, Wolfgang ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Vacancy-type defects created by helium implantation in tungsten and their impact on the nano-hardness characteristics were investigated by correlating the results from the positron annihilation spectroscopy and the nano-indentation technique. Helium implantation was performed at room temperature (RT) and at an elevated temperate of 600 °C. Also, the effect of post-annealing of the RT implanted sample was studied. The S parameter characterizing the open volume in the material was found to increase after helium irradiation and is significantly enhanced for the samples thermally treated at 600 °C either by irradiation at high temperature or by post-annealing. Two types of helium-vacancy defects weremore »« less

Deformation behaviour of [001] oriented MgO using combined in-situ nano-indentation and micro-Laue diffraction

Journal Article Bhowmik, Ayan ; Lee, Junyi ; Britton, T. Ben ; ... - Acta Materialia

Here, we report a coupled in-situ micro-Laue diffraction and nano-indentation experiment, with spatial and time resolution, to investigate the deformation mechanisms in [001]-oriented single crystal MgO. Crystal plasticity finite element modelling was applied to aid interpretation of the experimental observations of plasticity. The Laue spots showed both rotation and streaking upon indentation that is typically indicative of both elastic lattice rotation and plastic strain gradients respectively in the material. Multiple facets of streaking of the Laue peaks suggested plastic slip occurring on almost all the {101}-type slip planes oriented 45° to the sample surface with no indication of slip onmore »« less

Temperature dependence of helium-implantation-induced lattice swelling in polycrystalline tungsten: X-ray micro-diffraction and Eigenstrain modelling

Journal Article de Broglie, I. ; Beck, C. E. ; Liu, W. ; ... - Scripta Materialia

Using synchrotron X-ray micro-diffraction and Eigenstrain analysis the distribution of lattice swelling near grain boundaries in helium-implanted polycrystalline tungsten is quantified. Samples heat-treated at up to 1473 K after implantation show less uniform lattice swelling that varies significantly from grain to grain compared to as-implanted samples. An increase in lattice swelling is found in the vicinity of some grain boundaries, even at depths beyond the implanted layer. As a result, these findings are discussed in terms of the evolution of helium-ion-implantation-induced defects.
