Outline of Final Research Achievements

For the purpose of establishing evaluation and controlling methodology of impurity and irradiation induced embrittlement of fusion candidate V-4Cr-4Ti alloys, the effects of Y, as impurity getter, and the correlation of ion and neutron irradiation induced microstructures were investigated. It was shown, by systematic chemically controlled alloy production and testing, that Y addition can suppress the embrittlement by oxygen contamination. Potential loss of high temperature strength by Y addition can be mitigated by increasing Cr level. Correlation of ion and neutron irradiation induced microstructure was possible taking the radiation rate effects into consideration, enabling prediction of neutron irradiation effects based on ion irradiation data. However, the difference in the damage rate can cause different microstructural processes in the case that formation of dislocations and precipitates compete with each other.
