Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the possibility of evaluating irradiation hardening for reactor pressure vessel steels was examined using first-order reversal curve (FORC) method, which can simultaneously evaluate coercivity and interaction field distribution. Using FORC measurement equipment which employs induced voltage method, approximately 150 samples, with variable alloy-irradiation condition, were measured. For almost samples, a pronounced single FORC peak was observed in the two-dimensional FORC diagram and its position and width are found to depend on neutron fluence. By using the FORC method, a morphology of irradiation-induced nanoscale defects may be inspected in addition to an increase of their density.
