| Research Abstract |
Microchemical evolution in ion-irradiated alloys is analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Non-equilibrium segregation or depletion of alloying elements is observed in austenitic steels irradiated with heavy ions at elevated temperatures. Ni and Si are enriched around cavities and grain boundaries, while Cr, Mn and Mo are depleted there. These are explained by size factors of these elements. Ni-rich phases which are not seen in thermally controled material affect microstructural evolution during irradiation. MC precipitates in austenitic steels have strong stability during irradiation, while segregation of Ni and Si to their surface can modify the precipitates.
Microstructural and microchemical evolution in ion-irradiated alloys strongly depends on both energy and species of injected ions. For example, 400 HeV P^+ ion irradiation to austenitic steels produces iron-phosphide around the depth of ion range, and these precipitates supress void formation under irradiation.
Ion irradiation to precipitation-hardened ferritic steel promotes transition of martensitic phase to austenitic phase, which is not observed by thermal aging.
Non-equiliburium segregation and precipitation are found in various kinds of alloys during ion irradiation. Enormous data to control the creation of new materials by irradiation with energetic ions have been extracted from the present study.
