Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of swelling and irradiation creep behavior of fcc-austenitic and bcc-ferritic/martensitic alloys at high neutron exposure
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the steady-state swelling rate of bcc steels is inherently much lower than that of fcc and that the creep compliance of the two types of alloys also differs only by a factor of about two.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cation disorder in high-dose, neutron-irradiated spinel
Kurt E. Sickafus,A.C. Larson,Ning Yu,Michael Nastasi,G.W. Hollenberg,Francis A. Garner,Richard C. Bradt +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the crystal structures of MgAl 2 O 4 spinel single crystals irradiated to high neutron fluences (> 5 x 10 26 n/m 2 (E n > 0.1 MeV)), were examined by neutron diffraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of irradiation temperature and dose gradients on the microstructural evolution in neutron-irradiated 316SS
Danny J. Edwards,Edward P. Simonen,Francis A. Garner,Lawrence R. Greenwood,Brian M. Oliver,Stephen M. Bruemmer +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a cold worked 316SS baffle bolt was extracted from the Tihange pressurized water reactor and sectioned at three different positions, and microstructural characterization revealed that small faulted dislocation loops and cavities were visible at each position.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanical properties of 316L/304L stainless steels, Alloy 718 and Mod 9Cr–1Mo after irradiation in a spallation environment
Stuart A. Maloy,Michael R. James,Gordon Willcutt,Walter F. Sommer,Mikhail A. Sokolov,Lance Lewis Snead,Margaret L. Hamilton,Francis A. Garner +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of irradiation on the tensile and fracture toughness properties of candidate tritium materials, 316L and 304L stainless steel (annealed), modified (Mod) 9Cr-1Mo steel, and Alloy 718 (precipitation hardened), was measured on various materials irradiated at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center accelerator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of defect imbalance on void swelling distributions produced in pure iron irradiated with 3.5 MeV self-ions
Lin Shao,Chao-Chen Wei,Jonathan G. Gigax,Assel Aitkaliyeva,Di Chen,Bulent H. Sencer,Francis A. Garner +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of void swelling on the depth-dependent defect imbalance between vacancies and interstitials has been investigated using the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) method, and it was shown that void swelling does not depend solely on the local dose level.
