The effects of silicon and titanium on void swelling and phase transformations in neutron irradiated 12Cr-15Ni steels

Defect recovery in proton irradiated Ti-modified stainless steel probed by positron annihilation

“…To improve the resistance to void swelling, the material is suitably modified by adjusting alloying elements and by subjecting it to thermomechanical treatments. Effects of minor alloying components [2][3][4] on the swelling properties of the steel and also the effect of cold working [5,6] had been investigated earlier. The basic understanding of defect production due to irradiation and their thermal stability would pave the way to gain better insight into macroscopic dimensional changes in the material.…”

Unlimited damage accumulation in metallic materials under cascade-damage conditions

“…[12,[64][65][66][67][68] and growth of voids in the compression side of edge dislocations (see e.g. [62,[69][70]) has been known for a long time.…”

Strain-induced phase transformation at the surface of an AISI-304 stainless steel irradiated to 4.4dpa and deformed to 0.8% strain

“…Induced ferrite formation from neutron and ion irradiation in austenitic stainless steels has previously been observed in other studies (see [15,16]) and analyzed in detail elsewhere [4]. Irradiation-assisted ferrite tends to form near grain boundaries and is invisible to EBSD.…”
