چکیده
Overall Program Goals for Year One Year one of this project had three major goals. First, to specify, order and install a new high current ion source for more rapid and stable proton irradiation. Second, to assess the use of chromium pre-enrichment and hardening by combining cold-work and irradiation in an effort to isolate a radiation damage microstructure in stainless steel without the effects of RIS. Third, to initiate irradiation of reactor pressure vessel steel and Zircaloy.

Grain Refinement of Dual Phase Steel via Tempering of Cold-Rolled Martensite
A microstructure consisting of ultrafine grained (UFG) ferrite with average grain size of ~ 0.7 µm and dispersed nano-sized carbides was produced by cold-rolling and tempering of the martensite starting microstructure in a low carbon steel. Subsequently, fine grained dual phase (DP) steel consisting of equiaxed ferrite grains with average size of ~ 5 µm and martensite islands with average size ...

The effect of microstructural refinement and intercritical annealing on the mechanical properties and work-hardening response of a low carbon St12 steel was studied. It was revealed that intercritical annealing of the ferritic-pearlitic sheet results in the formation of a coarse-grained DP microstructure with discrete martensite islands normally formed in place of pearlitic colonies, which resu...
متن کاملIntercomparison of microchemical evolution under various types of particle irradiation
The problem of irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (L4SCC) in reactor cores is currently being addressed using different types of particle irradiation (electrons, heavy and light ions) to study the effect of neutron damage. Differences among the types of irradiation include particle type, temperature, dose and dose rate. In using different types of particle irradiation, the issue bec...
متن کاملEvaluation of Irradiation Hardening of P92 Steel under Ar Ion Irradiation
P92 steel was irradiated with Ar ion up to 10 dpa at 200, 400, and 700 ◦C. The effect of Ar ion irradiation on hardness was investigated with nanoindentation tests and microstructure analyses. It was observed that irradiation-induced hardening occurred in the steel after Ar ion irradiation at all three temperatures to 10 dpa. The steel exhibited significant hardening at 200 and 700 ◦C, and slig...
متن کاملThe Effects of Martensite Thermomechanical Parameters on the Formation of Nano/Ultrafine Grained Structure in 201LN Stainless Steel
In this study, the effects cold rolling and annealing parameters during thermomechanical processing of the AISI 201LN stainless steel were investigated. The cast samples were homogenized, hot-rolled and solution-annealed to acquire a suitable microstructure for the subsequent thermomechanical treatment. Unidirectional and transverse multi-pass cold rolling at 25, 0 and -15 °C was carried out to...
