This book was released on 1985 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swelling data are now available for 15 iron-nickel-chromium ternary alloys irradiated to exposures as high as 110 displacements per atom (dpa) in Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) between 400 and 650°C. These data confirm trends observed at lower exposure levels and extend the generality of earlier conclusions to cover a broader range of composition and temperature. It appears that all austenitic iron-nickel-chromium ternary alloys eventually approach an intrinsic swelling rate of ~1%/dpa over a range of temperature even wider than studied in this experiment. The duration of the transient regime that precedes the attainment of this rate is quite sensitive to nickel and chromium content, however.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnitudes of both void swelling and radiation-induced segregation (RIS) in austenitic iron-chromium-nickel alloys are dependent on bulk alloy composition. In this work, the resistance to swelling from major element segregation is estimated and alloys with greater nickel enrichment and fast-developing segregation profiles are shown to be less prone to swelling. In austenitic iron-chromium-nickel alloys, the total swelling depends on the duration of the transient swelling period that precedes steady-state swelling. A longer transient swelling period leads to less overall swelling for the same irradiation dose. The duration of this transient period depends on the void nucleation rate which is determined directly by the average vacancy diffusivity and indirectly by the magnitude of the segregation to the void surface. Alloys with faster vacancy diffusion have a slower void nucleation rate, a longer transient swelling period, and less swelling. Radiation-induced segregation affects swelling by decreasing the vacancy flux to the void. Because the diffusivity of nickel via the vacancy flux is slow relative to chromium, nickel enriches and chromium depletes at void surfaces during irradiation in all austenitic iron-chromium-nickel alloys. This local composition change reduces the subsequent vacancy flux to the voids, increasing the bulk point defect recombination rate, reducing the bulk vacancy concentration, which further reduces the nucleation rate and swelling. Alloys that display the greatest amount of nickel enrichment and chromium depletion are found to be most resistant to void swelling, as predicted from both void nucleation and void growth considerations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results are described from the investigation of swelling caused by fast-neutron-induced void formation in stainless steel fuel cladding and high-nickel alloys irradiated in fast flux (EBR-II) to fluences up to 7.3 x 1022 n/cm2, E > 0.1 MeV. Immersion density measurements of swelling gave results ranging from a volume increase of 10 percent in solution-annealed Type 347 stainless steel to a small densification in Inconel-625. Transmission electron microscopy investigations revealed that the extent of void formation in Types 316 and 347 stainless steels, Incoloy-800, and Hastelloy-X was related to the degree of intragranular precipitation (principally carbides), whereas the Ni3 Cb precipitation in Inconel-625 had apparently inhibited void formation altogether. It is concluded that precipitate particles can play a major role in determining the extent of void formation in austenitic alloys during neutron irradiation, and in the optimum morphology (a high concentration of closely spaced, small and possibly coherent particles) they offer promise of largely inhibiting void formation and swelling.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Void and dislocation structures in an Fe-25Ni-15Cr alloy were studied following irradiation with 2.8 MeV58Ni+ ions at temperatures between 600 and 750°C (1112 and 1382°F) to maximum damage levels up to 80 displacements per atom (dpa). Void formation was observed at all the temperatures investigated, with the maximum swelling between 650 and 700 °C (1202 and 1292°F). The swelling versus dose relationships exhibited an incubation dose followed by swelling at a rate that increased with increasing damage level. These data were consistent with previous swelling results for austenitic alloys irradiated with charged particles, which indicate that the swelling should become linear with irradiation dose at higher damage levels. Tangled dislocation networks were observed to form at low doses and to be fairly stable up to the highest damage levels examined. With the assumption of the observed stable dislocation networks, the dose dependence of swelling could be explained by a general form of the chemical rate theory for swelling due to void growth.
