摘要
Tensile, Charpy, and transmission electron microscopy specimen of two conventional steels, modified 9Cr-1Mo (9Cr-1MoVNb) and Sandvik HT9 (12Cr-1MoVW), and two reduced-activation steels, Fe-9Cr-2W-0.25V-0.1C (9Cr-2WV) and Fe-9Cr-2W-0.25V-0.07Ta-0.1C (9Cr-2WVTa), were irradiated in the Fast Flux Test Facility. Before irradiation, M(23)C(6) was the primary precipitate in all four steels, which also contained some MC. Neutron irradiation did not substantially alter the M(23)C(6) and MC. No new phases formed during irradiation of the 9Cr-2WV and 9Cr-2WVTa, but chi-phase precipitated in the 9Cr-1MoVNb and chi-phase and alpha' precipitated in the 12Cr-1MoVW. Irradiation-produced dislocation loops formed in the 9Cr-2WV, 9Cr-2WVTa, and 12Cr-1MoVW. The microstructural changes caused the steels to harden, as measured by the change in yield stress. Hardening was correlated with a change in the Charpy impact properties of the 9Cr-1MoVNb, 12Cr-1MoVW, and 9Cr-2WV. Although irradiation caused a yield stress increase in 9Cr-2WVTa similar to that for the 9Cr-2WV and 9Cr-1MoVNb, the change in Charpy properties was considerably less for the 9Cr-2WVTa. This difference in Charpy behavior of the 9Cr-2WVTa with that of the 9Cr-2WV and 9Cr-1MoVNb was attributed to differences in the fracture stress-temperature relationship and/or the flow stress-temperature relationship between the 9Cr-2WVTa and the other two 9Cr steels.
