摘要
Microstructure and mechanical properties of the neutron irradiated beryllium were studied. Specimens were produced by various methods and had different grain sizes and impurity contents, and neutron irradiation was carried out with total fast neutron fluences of 1.3-4.3 x 10(21) n/cm(2) (E > 1 MeV) at 327-616 degrees C. Swelling was increased by high irradiation temperature, high fluence, and by small grain size and high impurity content. Obvious decreasing of the fracture stress was observed in small grain specimens which had many helium bubbles on the grain boundary. Decreasing of the fracture stress for small grain specimens was presumably caused by crack propagation on the grain boundaries which were weakened by helium bubbles. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
