摘要:

Fe-Cr合金中富Cr α'相的辐射强化析出是导致硬化和脆化的主要原因,它取决于辐照粒子和每原子位移(dpa)速率。在这里,我们利用Cahn-Hilliard相场为基础的方法,其中包括简单的模型的成核,辐照粒子和速率依赖的辐射增强扩散和级联混合模拟α'的演变中子,重离子和电子辐照。不同的辐射粒子表现出非常不同的级联混合效率。该模型使用中子数据进行了校准。对于在300 °C下10^-^8 dpa/s和10^-^6 dpa/s之间的级联诱导中子/重离子dpa速率,模型预测数密度近似恒定,半径减小,α' Cr成分减小,α'体积分数降低。然后,该模型预测,在大约10^-^5 dpa/s以上的速率下,α'的形成会发生剧烈的转变,而在dpa速率高达10^-^3 dpa/s时,电子辐照(混合较弱)几乎没有影响。这些模型的预测与实验结果是一致的。我们解释的辐射增强扩散,级联混合,和它们的比例,这一切都显着变化的中子和级联诱导离子辐照的相关通量范围内的通量依赖性方面的结果。这些结果表明,级联混合和辐射增强扩散时,必须考虑到试图模拟中子辐照效应,使用加速离子辐照。

英文摘要:

Radiation-enhanced precipitation of Cr-rich α' in irradiated Fe-Cr alloys, which results in hardening and embrittlement, depends on the irradiating particle and the displacement per atom (dpa) rate. Here, we utilize a Cahn-Hilliard phase-field based approach, that includes simple models for nucleation, irradiating particle and rate dependent radiation-enhanced diffusion and cascade mixing to simulate α' evolution under neutrons, heavy ions, and electron irradiations. Different irradiating particles manifest very different cascade mixing efficiencies. The model was calibrated using neutron data. For cascade inducing neutron/heavy-ion dpa rates at 300 °C between 10^-^8 and 10^-^6 dpa/s the model predicts approximately constant number density, decreasing radius, decreasing α' Cr composition, and lower α' volume fraction. The model then predicts a dramatic transition to no α' formation above approximately 10^-^5 dpa/s, while electron irradiation, with weak mixing, had little effect at dpa rates up to 10^-^3 dpa/s. These model predictions are consistent with experiments. We explain the results in terms of the flux dependence of the radiation enhanced diffusion, cascade mixing, and their ratio, which all vary significantly in relevant flux ranges for neutron and cascade inducing ion irradiations. These results show that both cascade mixing and radiation enhanced diffusion must be accounted for when attempting to emulate neutron-irradiation effects using accelerated ion irradiations.
