NSUF 17-1023: Hardness profiling of ion irradiated 15-15Ti cladding steel using CSM nano-indentation
This work proposes CSM nano-indentation on self-ion irradiated 15-15Ti cladding steel for use in lead or lead bismuth cooled fast reactor applications. CSM nano-indentation allows for measuring hardness and stiffness as a function of depth, and is one of the few suitable ways to measure mechanical properties of small volumes such as the damage layer in heavy ion irradiated materials. Nano-indentation will provide complementary information to microstructural characterization and contribute to the understanding of damage formation in austenitic stainless steels under ion irradiation at low temperatures. The data may also provide a link to macroscopic mechanical properties such as yield stress, which are tabulated in large databases for both pristine and neutron irradiated 15-15Ti steel.
