Description

Four austenitic alloys having a constant major element composition of 12%Cr, 15%Ni and silicon in the range 0.14 to 1.42% have been irradiated with neutrons to doses of approx. 20 dpa at eight temperatures in the range 400-6450C. Increasing the silicon content greatly reduces the void swelling at these relatively low doses. However, increased silicon levels also lead to very complex phase transformations resulting from irradiation induced solute segregation. (author)
