In situ measurements of a homogeneous to heterogeneous transition in the plastic response of ion-irradiated <111> Ni microspecimens

Journal Article Zhao, Xinyu ; Strickland, Daniel J. ; Derlet, Peter M. ; ... - Acta Materialia

We report on the use of quantitative in situ microcompression experiments in a scanning electron microscope to systematically investigate the effect of self-ion irradiation damage on the full plastic response of <111> Ni. In addition to the well-known irradiationinduced increases in the yield and flow strengths with increasing dose, we measure substantial changes in plastic flow intermittency behavior, manifested as stress drops accompanying energy releases as the driven material transits critical states. At low irradiation doses, the magnitude of stress drops reduces relative to the unirradiated material and plastic slip proceeds on multiple slip systems, leading to quasi-homogeneous plastic flow.more »« less

Design of bicontinuous metallic nanocomposites for high-strength and plasticity

Journal Article Cui, Yuchi ; Derby, Benjamin ; Li, Nan ; ... - Materials & Design

We demonstrate design of Cu/Mo nanocomposite thin films with bicontinuous intertwined morphologies for high strength and plastic deformability. Through co-sputtering Cu and Mo at different temperatures, nanocomposites with lateral and random concentration modulations (LCMs and RCMs) were fabricated. Ligament size and coherency of the Cu/Mo interfaces was also controlled via the deposition conditions. It was discovered that nanocomposites with LCM structure and coherent interfaces have high strength but limited deformability. Enhanced deformability was achieved when the interface was altered to semi-coherent, although plasticity was localized in kink bands. The RCM structure design with semi-coherent interfaces showed an excellent combination ofmore »« less

Radiation-induced Swelling and Microcracking in SiC Cladding for LWRs

Technical Report Szlufarska, Izabela ; Voyles, Paul ; Tonks, Michael

After the Fukushima accident in 2011, SiC has attracted considerable attention as a potential material for fuel cladding that can offer increased accident tolerance in light water reactors (LWRs) compared to zircaloy cladding. Existing measurements on nuclear grade SiC/SiC composites made of high-purity, stoichiometric SiC have already shown very good radiation tolerance in various harsh environments. However, there are a number of challenges that need to be addressed before SiC composites can be successfully used in LWR technologies. One of them is irradiation-induced swelling, which can lead to development of significant stresses in the matrix, followed by microcracking and subsequentmore »« less

Modeling of dislocation channel width evolution in irradiated metals

Journal Article Doyle, Peter J. ; Benensky, Kelsa M. ; Zinkle, Steven J. - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Defect-free dislocation channel formation has been reported to promote plastic instability during tensile testing via localized plastic flow, leading to a distinct loss of ductility and strain hardening in many low-temperature irradiated materials. In order to study the underlying mechanisms governing dislocation channel width and formation, the channel formation process is modeled via a simple stochastic dislocation-jog process dependent upon grain size, defect cluster density, and defect size. Dislocations traverse a field of defect clusters and jog stochastically upon defect interaction, forming channels of low defect-density. And based upon prior molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and in-situ experimental transmission electron microscopymore »« less

Use of portable/in situ stress-strain microprobe system to measure stress-strain behavior and damage in metallic materials and structures

Conference Haggag, F.M. ; Wang, J.A. ; Sokolov, M.A. ; ...

A novel portable/in situ Stress-Strain Microprobe (SSM) system was used to measure true-stress/true-plastic-strain ({sigma}{sub t}-{epsilon}{sub p}) behavior of several metallic materials, welds, and their heat-affected-zones (HAZs) in various metallurgical and damage conditions. The SSM system utilized an automated ball indentation (ABI) technique to measure elastic modulus, yield strength, {sigma}{sub t}-{epsilon}{sub p} curve, strength coefficient, strain-hardening-exponent (uniform ductility), and to estimate fracture toughness (from the ABI-measured flow properties) in carbon steels, stainless steels, nickel alloys, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, zirconium alloys, etc. Numerous ABI tests were also conducted on several nuclear pressure vessel steels (NPVSs) in the unirradiated, neutron irradiated, andmore »« less
