The alloys do not contain high activation elements, such as, Co, Ni and Mo. The alloy samples were hot-rolled at 1323 K and air-cooled, followed by heat treatment at 1073 K for 0.5 h and quenching in to water. After the heat-treatment, the Fe-10Mn-15Cr-2.0Al-0.7V-0.5C (10Mn) sample consisted mainly of body-centered cubic (BCC) structure with two distinct microstructures, i.e., fine lath-martensite-like structures and recrystallized grains. Meanwhile, the Fe-20Mn-15Cr-2.0Al-0.7V-0.5C (20Mn) sample were a mixture of fine lath-martensite like BCC phase and face-centered cubic (FCC) phases. The 10Mn sample exhibits very high tensile strength of 960 MPa but low elongation, while the 20Mn sample exhibits lower tensile strength of 620 MPa but much improved elongation over 60 %. The samples were simultaneously triple-irradiated with 10.5 MeV Fe<sup>3+</sup> ions, 1.05 MeV He<sup>+</sup> ions and 0.38 MeV H<sup>+</sup> ions to a depth of 1 μm from the sample surface. The irradiation hardening in average was only about 1.5 GPa in the alloys irradiated with 10.5 MeV Fe<sup>3+</sup> ions up to 30 dpa at 573 K at the damage peak, measured by nano-indentation. The irradiation hardening resistance of the alloys was better than that of other fusion structural materials and fission reactor pressure vessel steels. Combined analysis with electron-backscattered diffraction and nanoindentation revealed that the irradiation hardening is less significant in lath BCC phase than in recrystallized BCC (10Mn) and in FCC (20Mn). These results suggest that the alloys with good combination of irradiation resistance and mechanical properties can be developed by further tailoring the phase stability of the alloys and combining the high-entropy effects, aiming for the application for components in nuclear reactors, fusion reactors and high-power large accelerator facilities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nuclear Materials","volume":"610 ","pages":"Article 155772"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143785554","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}

In this work, a three-dimensional transient corrosion model of uranium metal material in hydrogen environment is established based on the finite element method, which intuitively reveals the corrosion behavior and corrosion mechanism of the hydride incubation, nucleation and growth process of uranium in hydrogen environment. The formation of hydride process of uranium undergoes three stages: the incubation stage, the nucleation stage, and the acceleration stage. The corrosion primarily manifests as pitting corrosion, progressing in a spherical morphology. The uranium-hydrogen reaction incubation stage arises mainly from the process of hydrogen diffusion. The strong stress accumulation and damage to the matrix induced by the volume expansion of hydride is the root origin of the formation of hydrogen pits. The accelerating effect of temperature on the reaction rate of uranium-hydrogen mainly results from the increase in the reaction rate constant and the significant increase in the diffusion rate. The magnitude of the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of uranium is positively correlated with the stress accumulation caused by hydride growth and the degree of damage to the uranium matrix.

Post-irradiation examination (PIE) was performed to quantify fuel column elongation, regions of low-density at the top of the fuel column, pin deformation, fission product distribution, fractional fission gas release, microstructural evolution, and fuel constituent redistribution. Benchmarking against existing PIE data from U-19Pu-10Zr fuel pins irradiated in EBR-II revealed consistent patterns in fuel column elongation and cladding diametral strain. However, both pins exhibited longer low-density structures, and destructive examination of DP-36 revealed more complex constituent redistribution patterns compared to previously reported data for ternary fuel pins. The steady-state irradiation of both pins was also modeled using BISON. Comparisons of PIE results with modeled predictions showed overall agreement in fractional fission gas release but consistent overestimation of axial and radial swelling due to gaseous and solid swelling models. These findings underscore the critical importance of pre-test characterization on test and sibling pins to accurately capture steady-state fuel behavior ahead of transient testing, thus establishing a baseline for post-test comparison.
