Radiation Response of a 12YWT Nanostructured Ferritic Steel
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011
Abstract
In order to evaluate the radiation response of 12YWT nanostructured ferritic steel to high dose neutron irradiation, the solute distribution, and size, number density, and compositions of nanoclusters in the unirradiated condition and after neutron irradiation to a dose of 3 dpa at a controlled temperature of 600 °C were estimated by atom probe tomography. No statistical difference in the average size or size distribution of the nanoclusters was found between the unirradiated and irradiated conditions. Therefore, these nanostructured ferritic steels are promising candidate materials for use under extreme conditions in future generations of advanced reactors.
