Grain Boundary Segregation in Commercial Nuclear Reactor Pressure Vessel Steels
Grain boundary (GB) segregation of impurity/solute atoms in surveillance test specimens of a commercial western-type pressurized water reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel has been observed by using state-of-the-art 3D atom probe (3DAP) field ion microscope (laser-assisted local electrode-type atom probe: laser-LEAP). The GB segregation is considered to be an origin of the embrittlement of the R...
متن کاملRadiation-induced Segregation and Void Swelling in 304 Stainless Steel
. Void swelling and radiation-induced segregation have been measured in 304 stainless steel. Samples were irradiated in the outer regions of the EBR-11reactor where displacement rates of 2.OX10-8and 6.6 xl 0-8dpds are comparable to those in pressurized water reactor components. Samples were inadiated at temperatures from 371-390°C to total doses of up to 20 dpa. Void swelling reached a maximum ...
متن کاملGrain Boundary Oxidation and the Chromium- Depletion Theory of Intercrystalline Corrosion of Austenitic Stainless Steels
High temperature microscopy during oxidation of austenitic stainless steels shows that an increased rate of oxidation is found in a narrow zone along grain boundaries where chromium carbides have been precipitated. This lends support to the chromium-depletion theory of intercrystatline corrosion of these steels. Approximate solution of the appropriate diffusion problem shows good agreement with...
متن کاملEffect of grain boundary character on segregation-induced structural transitions
Segregation-induced structural transitions in metallic grain boundaries are studied with hybrid atomistic Monte Carlo/molecular dynamics simulations using Cu-Zr as a model system, with a specific emphasis on understanding the effect of grain boundary character. With increasing global composition, the six grain boundary types chosen for this paper first form ordered complexions, with the local s...
متن کاملApplied Thermodynamics: Grain Boundary Segregation
Chemical composition of interfaces—free surfaces and grain boundaries—is generally described by the Langmuir–McLean segregation isotherm controlled by Gibbs energy of segregation. Various components of the Gibbs energy of segregation, the standard and the excess ones as well as other thermodynamic state functions—enthalpy, entropy and volume—of interfacial segregation are derived and their phys...
