NSUF 14-452: Microstructural and mechanical characterization of self-ion irradiated Grade 92 steel
Ferritic-martensitic steels have many interesting properties that make them potential structural materials for advanced reactors. Grade 92 steel is such a steel. The microstructural and mechanical characteristics of Grade 92 steel has previously been studied. Recently, Grade 92 steel specimens were irradiated with ferrous ions for three damage doses (10,50 and 100 dpa) at two irradiation temperatures (25 and 500 degree C). The proposed project aims to investigate the irradiated microstructure and mechanical properties of the ion-irradiated Grade 92 steel with the help of transmission electron microscopy and nanoindentation. It is expected that the project will yield important information about the radiation damage toelerance of the Grade 92 steel. This work is consistent with the missions of the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy. The project will be completed during Nov.-Dec. timeframe of this year.
