NSUF 21-4366: Assessment of Irradiated Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of FeCrAl Alloy Fabrication Routes

The objective of this proposal is to determine how the FeCrAl alloy fabrication route determines the microstructure and mechanical properties following neutron irradiation. FeCrAl alloys are fabricated through conventional melting/forging, additive manufacturing, and powder metallurgy. Irradiation effects on microstructure (irradiation induced defect clusters and precipitation) and the corresponding impact on mechanical properties (hardness and embrittlement) will be evaluated.
