原子炉材料候補である酸化物分散強化フェライト鋼は熱照射でナノオーダーのCrリッチ相の出現が起こり、脆化する。この原因を探るため、ナノオーダーのCrリッチ相の析出物を解析を目的とした放射光を用いた異常X線小角散乱法(A-SAXS)の開発を行った。その開発結果と材料分析結果を報告する。

In development of oxide-dispersed ferritic steels, it is known that precipitation of Cr rich phase hardens ferrite phase and decreases toughness in base material. Small angle X-ray scattering is a promising method for analysis of this precipitation process because the precipitate is nanometer size. However, it is usually difficult to separate the scattering between the Fe phase and Cr phase since Fe and Cr are close in atomic number. Therefore, in order to observe the state of phase separation of Cr, we developed an anomalous X-ray small angle scattering (A-SAXS) method using synchrotron radiation.
