Influence of annealing on grain boundary segregation of neutron irradiated type 316L stainless steel

  • 1. Nippon Nuclear Fuel Development Co., Ltd., Oarai, Ibaraki (Japan)

Description

Type 316L stainless steel was neutron irradiated (8x1025 n/m2, E>1MeV) and annealed at 673 K - 973 K for 1 hour. After the annealing, intergranular fracture ratio measurement by SSRT, grain boundary analysis by FE-TEM with EDS and simulation of grain boundary Cr depletion healing were performed in order to consider an effect of segregation healing on IASCC. The intergranular fracture ratio was healed to 0% by annealing above 723 K, but the healing of grain boundary Cr depletion of 723 K annealed specimen was not recognized by EDS analysis. Considering about the EDS analysis result and analysis probe diameter, concentration profiles were calculated. As a result, it was considered that grain boundary segregation which depleted to about 8 mass% by neutron irradiation, healed to about 12 mass% by annealing at 723 K, so that IASCC susceptibility was decreased.
