Microstructural evolution of pure tungsten neutron irradiated with a mixed energy spectrum

Journal Article Koyanagi, Takaaki ; Kumar, N. A. P. Kiran ; Hwang, Taehyun ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Here, microstructures of single-crystal bulk tungsten (W) and polycrystalline W foil with a strong grain texture were investigated using transmission electron microscopy following neutron irradiation at ~90–800 °C to 0.03–4.6 displacements per atom (dpa) in the High Flux Isotope Reactor with a mixed energy spectrum. The dominant irradiation defects were dislocation loops and small clusters at ~90 °C. Additional voids were formed in W irradiated at above 460 °C. Voids and precipitates involving transmutation rhenium and osmium were the dominant defects at more than ~1 dpa. We found a new phenomenon of microstructural evolution in irradiated polycrystalline W: Re- andmore »« less

Neutron energy spectrum influence on irradiation hardening and microstructural development of tungsten

Journal Article Fukuda, Makoto ; Kiran Kumar, N. A. P. ; Koyanagi, Takaaki ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

We performed a neutron irradiation to single crystal pure tungsten in the mixed spectrum High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). In order to investigate the influences of neutron energy spectrum, the microstructure and irradiation hardening were compared with previous data obtained from the irradiation campaigns in the mixed spectrum Japan Material Testing Reactor (JMTR) and the sodium-cooled fast reactor Joyo. The irradiation temperatures were in the range of ~90–~800 °C and fast neutron fluences were 0.02–9.00 × 10²⁵ n/m² (E > 0.1 MeV). Post irradiation evaluation included Vickers hardness measurements and transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, the hardness and microstructure changes exhibitedmore »« less

Mechanical properties of single-crystal tungsten irradiated in a mixed spectrum fission reactor

Journal Article Garrison, Lauren M. ; Katoh, Yutai ; Kumar, N.A.P. Kiran - Journal of Nuclear Materials

To collect data for fusion applications and understand the basic properties of tungsten, single-crystal tungsten was neutron irradiated in the mixed-spectrum High Flux Isotope Reactor at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory at temperatures of 90–830 °C to fast fluences of 0.01–9 × 10²⁵ n/m² (E > 0.1 MeV). For tensile tests at room temperature of the irradiated material in both orientations, <110> and <100> tensile orientation, initially there was strengthening that peaked at 0.02 dpa and was followed by progressive modulus of toughness reduction, approaching zero at higher doses. For all irradiation temperatures, in elevated temperature tensile tests there wasmore »« less

Response of unalloyed tungsten to mixed spectrum neutrons

Journal Article Katoh, Y. ; Snead, L. L. ; Garrison, L. M. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Neutron irradiation in mixed spectrum reactors is an effective approach to investigate the synergistic effects of solid transmutations and atomic displacement damage in tungsten. In this article the findings and interpretations from a large-scale tungsten irradiation campaign conducted using the High Flux Isotope Reactor of Oak Ridge National Laboratory are summarized. The response of originally-unalloyed tungsten to mixed spectrum neutron irradiation is characterized by enormous hardening, degradation of modulus of toughness eventually leading to embrittlement, and decreased thermal conductivity. These property changes may be attributed primarily to production, segregation, and precipitation of rhenium and osmium and assisted by displacement damage.more »« less

Chemistry on a subnanometer scale of radiation-induced precipitation and segregation in fast-neutron irradiated tungsten-rhenium alloys

Conference Herschitz, R ; Seidman, D N

W-10 at.% Re and W-25 at.% Re alloys were investigated, employing the atom-probe field-ion-microscope technique. The W-10 at.% Re is subsaturated with respect to the solvus line of the primary solid solution (..beta.. phase), while the W-25 at.% Re alloy is supersaturated with respect to the same solvus line. Results on EBR-2-irradiated specimens show a significant alteration of the microstructure. In the case of W-10 at.% Re, precipitates with the composition approx. WRe and a disc-shaped morphology were detected at a number density of approx. 10/sup 16/ cm/sup -3/, and a mean diameter of approx. 57 A. For W-25 at.%more »« less
