Recent progress in understanding reactor pressure vessel steel embrittlement
G.R. Odette,G.E. Lucas +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic mechanisms of irradiation embrittlement in reactor pressure vessel steels are reviewed and a detailed identity and etiology of the matrix defects and manganese-nickel-rich phases are discussed.
Book
Phase Stability Under Irradiation
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review of experimentals observations of irradiation-altered phase stability is presented, including enhanced nucleation on displacement cascades, precipitation induced by solute segregation to defect sinks, nucleation of wrong phases, disordering and amorphization, Frenkel pair recombination driven precipitate, and inverse Ostwald ripening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructural evolution in reactor pressure vessel steels
W.J. Phythian,C.A. English +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the current understanding of the subject, giving were possible examples of the approach and techniques used to obtain this, can be found in this paper, where the authors also highlight areas of current research activity and indicate the type of work still required to provide information on aspects that currently lack a full understanding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ternary Fe-Cu-Ni many-body potential to model reactor pressure vessel steels: First validation by simulated thermal annealing
TL;DR: In this paper, a ternary many-body Fe-Cu-Ni potential was developed for a simulated thermal annealing study of the Fe and Fe-Ni alloys.

Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of radiation upon diffusion in metals
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of irradiation on point defect propagation in metal diffusion are investigated. But the authors focus on the point defect species and do not consider the effect of defect species on the normal thermally activated diffusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
A dispersion strengthening model based on differing elastic moduli applied to the iron-copper system
Kathryn C Russell,Lisa M. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the interaction between a matrix slip dislocation and a second phase particle of lower shear modulus than the matrix is presented, where the minimum included angle reached by the arms of a dislocation while cutting the precipitate can be calculated as a function of the energy of the dislocation on either side of the precipitates/matrix interface.
Effects of radiation on materials
TL;DR: In this paper, tensile properties of neutron irradiated A212B pressure vessel steel, fracture resistance of irradiated stainless steel clad vessels, and radiation damage calculations for compound materials are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The diffusion and solubility of copper in iron
G. Salje,M. Feller‐Kniepmeier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the chemical diffusion coefficients and the solubility limits of copper in iron were determined in the temperature range 690-1050 C by electron probe microanalysis.
