| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research will investigate the high-temperature mechanical properties and irradiation damage resistance of the developed ODS ferritic steel by the new multi-directional thermomechanical process.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, a novel thermomechanical process, namely, multi-directional cold rolling followed by thermal annealing, was developed to reduce the recrystallization temperature of oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steel. This recrystallization process can improve the ductility and creep properties. To investigate the irradiation resistance, ion irradiation experiments were carried out. Results showed that cold rolling can suppress the irradiation hardening by inducing large numbers of defects (dislocations, grain boundaries, etc.). Irradiation hardening of recrystallized samples at room temperature and 673 K was due to the formation of irradiation defects, however, hardening at 973 K was not obviously observed.
|
| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
A novel recrystallization process was developed to give rise to a lower recrystallization temperature, homogeneous microstructure, fewer pore defects in matrix, and thus improvements of ductility, creep properties, and formability, which are critical for the fabrication and application of ODS steel.
