Title: Bubble formation in helium-implanted nanostructured ferritic alloys at elevated temperatures

Abstract

Helium bubble formation was examined by scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) in Fe-9/10Cr binary alloys and two dispersion strengthened nanostructured alloys (CNA3 and 14YWT containing 5–10 nm diameter carbide and oxide particles, respectively) after ex-situ and in-situ He implantation to ~10,000 appm at 500 to 900 °C. The combination of high-resolution STEM images and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) revealed that the Y-Ti-O nanoparticles in 14YWT were uniformly distributed and exhibited a one-to-one relationship for bubble attachment to the nanoclusters. In the in-situ experiment at 900 °C, grain boundary cracking was severe in the Fe-10Cr model alloy, but not in the nanostructured alloys. From 500 to 900 °C, the bubble size generally increased with increasing irradiation temperature, while the bubble density decreased with increasing temperature. At the same temperatures, the bubble size in the implanted materials was in the order of Fe-9/10Cr > CNA3 > 14YWT, while the bubble density showed the opposite order. The observed bubble number densities for the nanostructured alloys are comparable to the nanoparticle density, suggesting that the nanoparticles in both alloys were effective in trapping He. Overall, our results indicate that very high He concentrations can be managed in nanostructured alloys by sequestering the helium intomore »« less

The effect of helium on cavity swelling in dual-ion irradiated Fe and Fe-10Cr ferritic alloys

Journal Article Lin, Yan-Ru ; Bhattacharya, Arunodaya ; Zinkle, Steven J. - Journal of Nuclear Materials

We report Ferritic-martensitic (FM) steels for in-vessel components in proposed fusion reactors are expected to suffer from high levels of displacement damage and helium (He) generation by neutron transmutation. However, a thorough understanding of the He synergistic effects on the cavity swelling in FM steels is still not well established. To gain fundamental insights into the He effect on cavity swelling, high purity Fe and Fe-10 wt.% Cr ferritic model alloys were irradiated with 8 MeV Ni ions and co-implanted He ions at 400 to 550 °C up to 30 displacements per atom (dpa) with He implantation rates of 0.1,more »« less

Helium sequestration at nanoparticle-matrix interfaces in helium + heavy ion irradiated nanostructured ferritic alloys

Journal Article Parish, Chad M. ; Unocic, Kinga A. ; Tan, Lizhen ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Here we irradiated four ferritic alloys with energetic Fe and He ions: one castable nanostructured alloy (CNA) containing Ti-W-Ta-carbides, and three nanostructured ferritic alloys (NFAs). The NFAs were: 9Cr containing Y-Ti-O nanoclusters, and two Fe-12Cr-5Al NFAs containing Y-Zr-O or Y-Hf-O clusters. All four were subjected to simultaneous dual-beam Fe + He ion implantation (650 °C, ~50 dpa, ~15 appm He/dpa), simulating fusion-reactor conditions. Examination using scanning/transmission electron microscopy (STEM) revealed high-number-density helium bubbles of ~8 nm, ~10²¹ m^-3 (CNA), and of ~3 nm, 10²³ m^-3 (NFAs).

Synergies between H, He and radiation damage in dual and triple ion irradiation of candidate fusion blanket materials

Journal Article Clowers, Logan N. ; Jiao, Zhijie ; Was, Gary S. - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Three ferritic/martensitic alloys were studied to understand the synergistic effect between single ion beam (Fe²⁺), dual ion beam (Fe²⁺+He²⁺ and Fe²⁺+H⁺), and triple ion beam (Fe²⁺+He²⁺+H⁺) irradiations on cavity evolution. A commercial alloy, F82H, a castable nanostructured alloy, CNA3, and a high purity model alloy, Fe8Cr2W, were irradiated at 400°C to 600°C to a damage level of 50 dpa at a damage rate of 1 × 10^–3 dpa/s with He and H injection rates of 10 and 40 appm/dpa, respectively.

Effects of temperature on helium bubble behaviour in Fe–9Cr alloy

Journal Article Yan, Zhanfeng ; Yang, Tengfei ; Lin, Yanru ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

In the present study, Fe–9Cr model alloys were irradiated by 275 keV He⁺ ions at 500 to 800 °C to a peak damage level and implanted helium content of 0.5 dpa and 0.75 at% He, respectively. Effects of temperature on He bubble behaviour were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to reveal the temperature effects. The bubble spatial distribution changes from homogenous at 500 and 600 °C to heterogeneous at 700 and 800 °C, due to preferential bubble precipitation on dislocations and grain boundaries at high temperature. Faceted bubbles with low energy faces along the {001} planes were present atmore »« less

Subtask 12G1: Effects of dynamically charged helium on swelling and microstructure of vanadium-base alloys

Technical Report Chung, H. M. ; Nowicki, L. ; Gazda, J. ; ...

The objective of this work is to determine void structure, distribution, and density changes of several vanadium-base alloys irradiated in the Dynamic Helium Charging Experiment (DHCE). Combined effects of dynamically charged helium and neutron damage on density change, void distribution, and microstructural evolution of V-4Cr-4Ti alloy have been determined after irradiation to 18-31 dpa at 425-600{degrees}C in the DHCE, and the results compared with those from a non-DHCE in which helium generation was negligible. For specimens irradiated to {approx}18-31 dpa at 500-600{degrees}C with a helium generation rate of 0.4-4.2 appm He/dpa, only a few helium bubbles were observed at themore »« less
