| Outline of Research at the Start |
The research is aimed to investigate the irradiation effect on the alumina-forming FeCrAl oxide dispersion-strengthened ferritic steels. Based on this work, the compositions of FeCrAl ODS alloys will be optimized to develop a reliable alumina film during irradiation environments.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to develop a robust alumina scale dispersed with nano-oxide particles for ODS FeCrAl ferritic alloys, the oxidation behavior of FeCrAl ODS ferritic alloys with zirconium and Ex. O additions was investigated at 900 oC, 1000 oC and 1100 oC in air. Microstructure characterization focused on the distribution of Y-Zr oxide particles inside alumina scales was conducted. By adjusting the contents of Zr and Ex. O additions, a distribution with dense Y-Zr oxide particles inside the alumina scale was obtained, which is expected to enhance the stability of the alumina scale during service at elevated temperatures in nuclear applications. A heavy Fe-ion simulation bombardment technique was conducted for the irradiation-processing of pre-oxidized alloys with alumina scales formation. High stability of the Y-Zr oxide particles dispersed alumina scales was confirmed during irradiation.
