摘要：

Ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels are being considered as potential structural materials for next generation nuclear reactors, and variants of the alloy HT9 are some of the most promising candidates. In this study, two conventional and two composition engineered HT9 alloys were irradiated using 3.5 MeV Fe2+ up to 600 peak displacement-peratom (dpa) at 450 ?C. Void swelling and microstructure evolution were characterized for each alloy and compared. The two conventional HT9 alloys (INL and ACO3) showed similar void swelling behavior due to their similar elemental composition and processing conditions. The INL HT9 exhibited a maximum of 2.4% swelling and the ACO3 HT9 showed a maximum of 2.8% swelling at 342 and 393 average local dpa, respectively. On the other hand, the two-composition engineered HT9 alloys with varying N contents (10 ppm for low N and 440 ppm for high N) showed disparate swelling behavior. The low N HT9 exhibited a maximum of 4.6% swelling, while the high N HT9 showed a maximum of 0.7% swelling at 342 average local dpa. Changes in the N content also affected Ni/Si rich G-phase formation. The low N HT9 showed a larger size and lower density of G-phase precipitates compared with the high N HT9 after 600 peak dpa irradiation. This study compares the void swelling behavior of the ion irradiated four current HT9 alloys to extremely high doses, with the void swelling data from neutron irradiated HT9 alloys. The comparison lends critical insights into how well these current alloys can withstand high neutron fluxes in future reactors, especially since the low N and high N HT9 alloys have never been exposed to such high doses before.
