This book was released on 2002 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of pre-irradiation heat treatments on thermal non-equilibrium grain boundary segregation (TNES) and subsequent radiation-induced grain boundary segregation (RIS) is studied in a series of model austenitic stainless steels. The alloys used for this study are based on AISI 316 stainless steel and have the following nominal compositions: Fe-16Cr-13Ni-1.25Mn (base 316), Fe-16Cr-13Ni-1.25Mn-2.0Mo (316 + Mo) and Fe-16Cr-13Ni-1.25Mn-2.0Mo-0.07P (316 + Mo + P). Samples were heat treated at temperatures ranging from 1100 to 1300 C and cooled at 4 different rates (salt brine quench, water quench, air cool and furnace cool) to evaluate the effect of annealing temperature and quench rate on TNES. The alloys were than processed with the treatment (temperature and cooling rate) that resulted in the maximum Cr enrichment. Alloys with and without the heat treatment to enrich the grain boundaries with Cr were characterized following irradiation to 1 dpa at 400 C with high-energy protons in order to understand the influence of alloying additions and pre-irradiation grain boundary chemistry on irradiation-induced elemental enrichment and depletion profiles. Various mechanistic models will be examined to explain the observed behavior.

Goodwin and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A model of the radiation-induced segregation (RIS) and thermal non- equilibrium segregation (TNES) at grain boundaries has been established within a phenomenological theory. This model indicates that the magnitude and extent of segregation is dependent upon the formation of solute-point defect complexes that migrate to grain boundaries. Theoretical predictions are made for the TNES and RIS of chromium in austenitic stainless steels for the first time. The results indicate that for TNES, chromium creates a positive binding energy in the complex, and is thus enriched at the grain boundary. For RIS, chromium produces a negative binding energy in the complex, and is thus depleted at the grain boundary. The combined effect of the two segregation mechanisms is discussed in relation to the evolution of the segregation profile exhibited by the grain boundary. The segregation profiles are shown to be illustrative of analytically measured profiles for similarly treated materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radiation-induced segregation (RIS) to grain boundaries in Fe-Ni-Cr-Si stainless alloys has been measured as a function of irradiation temperature and dose. Heavy-ion irradiation was used to produce damage levels from 1 to 20 displacements per atom (dpa) at temperatures from 175 to 550°C. Measured Fe, Ni, and Cr segregation increased sharply with irradiation dose (from G to 5 dpa) and temperature (from 175 to about 350°C). However, grain boundary concentrations did not change significantly as dose or temperatures were further increased. Although interfacial compositions were similar, the width of radiation-induced enrichment or depletion profiles increased consistently with increasing dose or temperature. Impurity segregation (Si and P) was also measured, but only Si enrichment appeared to be radiation-induced. Grain boundary Si peaked at levels approaching 10 at% after irradiation doses to 10 dpa at an intermediate temperature of 325°C. No evidence of grain boundary silicide precipitation was detected after irradiation at any temperature. Equilibrium segregation of P was measured in the high-P alloys, but interfacial concentration did not increase with irradiation exposure. Comparisons to reported RIS in neutron-irradiated stainless steels revealed similar grain boundary compositional changes for both major alloying and impurity elements.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The radiation-induced segregation of alloy components near point defect sinks with a particular attention to Fe-Cr-Ni based alloys is analyzed. The influence of point defect generation rate on temperature ranges of stability for radiation-retarded M23C6 and radiation-induced Ni3Si precipitates in austenitic stainless steels is considered. A method of calculation of steady-state segregation-induced bias in irradiated binary alloys, taking into account Kirkendall forces and drift forces caused by point defect migration and formation energy gradients near sinks, is proposed. Contributions of various forces to the bias in Fe-Cr-Ni and V-Fe alloys are evaluated. The effect of void-precipitate association on swelling is analyzed. The radiation-induced segregation of components and segregation-induced bias for motionless and moving grain boundaries in a Fe-Cr-Ni alloy are calculated by solving the set of coupled diffusion equations for component and point defect concentrations.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) of austenitic stainless steels in Light Water Reactor (LWR) components has been linked to changes in grain boundary composition due to irradiation induced segregation (RIS). This work developed a robust RIS modeling tool to account for thermodynamics and kinetics of the atom and defect transportation under combined thermal and radiation conditions. The diffusion flux equations were based on the Perks model formulated through the linear theory of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. Both cross and non-cross phenomenological diffusion coefficients in the flux equations were considered and correlated to tracer diffusion coefficients through Manning's relation. The preferential atomvacancy coupling was described by the mobility model, whereas the preferential atom-interstitial coupling was described by the interstitial binding model. The composition dependence of the thermodynamic factor was modeled using the CALPHAD approach. Detailed analysis on the diffusion fluxes near and at grain boundaries of irradiated austenitic stainless steels suggested the dominant diffusion mechanism for chromium and iron is via vacancy, while that for nickel can swing from the vacancy to the interstitial dominant mechanism. The diffusion flux in the vicinity of a grain boundary was found to be greatly influenced by the composition gradient formed from the transient state, leading to the oscillatory behavior of alloy compositions in this region. This work confirms that both vacancy and interstitial diffusion, and segregation itself, have important roles in determining the microchemistry of Fe, Cr, and Ni at irradiated grain boundaries in austenitic stainless steels.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oversize solute additions to stainless steels hold promise for reducing radiation-induced segregation (RIS), possibly delaying the onset and severity of irradiation-assisted stress-corrosion cracking (IASCC). The Modified Inverse Kirkendall (MIK) model for RIS in austenitic stainless steels was adapted to include the effects of defect trapping, which is expected to be caused by oversized solutes, on RIS. The model accounts for the sensitivity of RIS to both dose rate and temperature. Model results show that the primary contribution to the reduction in RIS occurs through vacancy trapping and recombination with migrating interstitials, requiring strong solute binding energies on the order of 1.0 eV. The maximum reduction in RIS due to defect trapping increases with dose rate and temperature. The general trends of the model are consistent with experimental data from proton and neutron irradiations.
