Abstract
The effect of displacement damage on the corrosion behavior in a molten FLiBe salt environment was investigated. The element distribution and microstructure around the grain boundaries (GBs) after corrosion were characterized. The results show a decrease in corrosion thickness with increasing irradiation dose and the presence of intergranular corrosion. Nanoscales M2C carbides were observed to be distributed, with a denser and thicker distribution in samples with higher irradiation doses. Their distribution depth is related to the Cr depletion region, inhibiting Cr diffusion toward the GBs and surface. Furthermore, the nucleation mechanism of M2C carbides along the GBs and in irradiated regions was revealed, attributed to the combined effects of thermal influences, element preferential dissolution due to corrosion, and irradiation-induced segregation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Research and Technology is a publication of ABM - Brazilian Metallurgical, Materials and Mining Association - and publishes four issues per year also with a free version online (www.jmrt.com.br). The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to Metallurgy, Materials and Minerals research and technology. Appropriate submissions to the Journal of Materials Research and Technology should include scientific and/or engineering factors which affect processes and products in the Metallurgy, Materials and Mining areas.
