To address the stringent performance requirements of supercritical water-cooled reactors (SCPWRs), two FeCrAl-ODS steels, i.e., 3Al–0.1Ti (Fe–16Cr–3Al–0.1Ti–0.34Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) and 2Al–0.1Ti–0.35Ce (Fe–16Cr–2Al–0.1Ti–0.35Ce–0.36Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>), were developed. This study aims to investigate how Ce addition influences the microstructure and the formation mechanisms of various oxides in ODS steels. Therefore, the grain &amp; nanoparticle morphologies, and crystal &amp; interface structures of nano-scale oxides of the two ODS steels were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The mean grain diameter of 3Al–0.1Ti and 2Al–0.1Ti–0.35Ce is 1.1 μm and 0.82 μm, respectively. Compared with 3Al–0.1Ti, the average diameter of particles of 2Al–0.1Ti–0.35Ce is relatively smaller. The results indicate that adding Ce can refine the grains and nano-sized particles. For 3Al–0.1Ti, the main particles are Y–Al–O with a proportion of ∼81.4 %. For 2Al–0.1Ti–0.35Ce, the main particles are Y–Ce and Y–Ti oxides with quantity ratios of ∼52.2 % and ∼22.1 %, respectively, while the quantity ratio of Y–Al oxides is only 12.3 %. This indicates that adding Ce can impede the occurrence of Y–Al–O while facilitating the generation of Y–Ce–O. Moreover, it is the first time that Y<sub>2</sub>Ce<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> oxide has been detected in yttria-added ODS steels with Ce. The findings obtained from this study provide key insights into the mechanisms of oxide formation &amp; polymorphic transitions, and microstructural differences due to Ce addition.

A noteworthy phenomenon observed during bubble growth is the detachment of punched prismatic loops. The critical bubble size for punched loop detachment can be reduced by growing the bubble at a slower rate or lower temperature. The reduction is attributed to the additional time available for the punched loop to dissociate or the higher pressure within the bubble pushing it out. Meanwhile, the formation mechanism of bubble-loop complexes is explored through the interaction of punched loops with nearby punched loops or bubbles. In addition, the integration of these simulation results with variations in material mechanical performance yields valuable insights for interpreting material degradation.

The mechanical interaction between a bubble and the surrounding matrix or grain boundary depends on the internal pressure of the bubble and local stress state, such that over-pressurized bubbles are thought to be responsible for fragmentation and pulverization, when exposed to a temperature ramp. Here, we investigate the role of U interstitials, produced through irradiation, in over-pressurizing bubbles by using a combined molecular dynamics (MD) and cluster dynamics approach. Firstly, the energies for the capture of interstitials and vacancies by bubbles have been determined from MD as a function of the ratio of gas atoms to vacancies that make up the bubble. Secondly, these reaction energies have been implemented in the cluster dynamics code Centipede to predict bubble over-pressurization as a function of temperature for typical fission rates. It was found that there is a transition from low pressure bubbles (at high temperatures) to high pressure bubbles (at lower temperatures). The cause of this behavior was shown to be the creation of irradiation-induced interstitials that are highly mobile relative to vacancies at low temperature; whereas, vacancies are sufficiently mobile at high temperatures to limit bubble pressures. This result supports the hypothesis that over-pressurized bubbles form during steady-state operation and that this behavior is highly sensitive to the local pellet temperature.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nuclear Materials","volume":"604 ","pages":"Article 155452"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142652837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the predictability of previous thermodynamic models for hydride reorientation in reactor-grade Cold Worked Stress Relieved (CWSR) Zircaloy has been hindered due to the intricate nature of hydride reorientation and the difficulties in characterizing microstructures. Recent successful EBSD characterization of reactor-grade CWSR Zircaloy has revealed valuable insights into microstructural characteristics of hydrides, enabling advancements in the modeling framework of hydride reorientation. This study aims to develop a thermodynamic model specifically focused on predicting the RHF. The developed thermodynamic model, based on classical nucleation theory, integrates aforementioned microstructural findings, combined with the Hydride-Nucleation-Growth-Dissolution (HNGD) model to capture transient precipitation behavior during cooling. Extensive experimental validations demonstrate enhanced predictability of the model. Additionally, the study examines the sensitivities of hydride reorientation to hydrogen concentration, applied stress, and cooling rate.
