摘要
In this study, two types of ferritic model alloys (Fe-9Cr and Fe-9Cr-C) were simultaneously irradiated with 3.5 MeV Fe13+ ions at 450 degrees C and 550 degrees C to a dose of 3dpa at the peak damage region, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to investigate the microstructural evolution of the Fe-Cr alloys after irradiation. The experimental results showed that the size of the dislocation loops formed in the Fe-9Cr-C alloy was larger than that in the Fe-9Cr alloy, but the loop density of the Fe-9Cr-C alloy was lower than that of the Fe-9Cr alloy after irradiation at 450 degrees C. The reason for this phenomenon was attributed to the fact that loops formed in Fe-9Cr-C alloy have greater capture efficiency for interstitial atoms. Compared to Fe-Cr alloys irradiated at 450 degrees C, high-density loops were not observed in the Fe-Cr alloys irradiated at 550 degrees C; the number of dislocation loops in the Fe-Cr alloys irradiated at 550 degrees C significantly decreased due to the rapid conversion of the dislocation loops into network dislocations. In addition, subgrains were observed in the Fe-Cr alloys after irradiation. The underlying reason behind the formation of subgrains is discussed in detail.
