Response of aluminium and its alloys to exposure in the high flux isotope reactor
Description
Pure aluminum and some aluminum alloys were irradiated to very high neutron fluences in the cooling water at 328 K in the high flux region of HFIR. Displacement levels of 270 dpa and transmutation-produced silicon levels of 7.15 wt% were reached. Damage microstructures consisted of dislocations, cavities and precipitates which caused substantial strengthening and associated loss in ductility. Formation of cavities and related swelling were considerably reduced by alloying elements and by the presence of fine Mg2Si precipitate. (author)
