Description

The relationship between the addition of minor elements and swelling behavior was investigated using nine specimens of Fe-15Cr-20Ni austenitic model alloys, Fe-15Cr-xNi(x = 20, 25 and 30) and a PNC1520 steel irradiated at temperatures between 480 and 700oC in the Joyo reactor to doses of 20-56 dpa. Phosphorus suppressed the appearance of swelling with these experimental irradiation conditions. The addition of titanium and niobium was effective for suppression of swelling at temperatures below 570 deg. C. A complicated microstructural dependence on nickel concentration was observed for Fe-15Cr-xNi alloys. (author)
