摘要
Two kinds of 9Cr-2W steels with and without the addition of 0.1 wt% Si were irradiated with neutrons up to a fluence of 4.8 x 10(23) n/m(2) at 563 K. Precipitates, dislocation loops, radiation-enhanced nano-clusters and radiation-hardening were studied using advanced electron microscopy and micro-hardness test. Si reduced the number density of dislocation loops, and therefore the extent of radiation-hardening decreased. It also favored the formation of silicide-like nano-clusters. In this study, the role of Si in neutron irradiated 9Cr-2W steels is discussed, and then extended to nano-clusters and irradiation-hardening. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
