The amount of corrosion of austenitic stainless-steel R-SUS304ULC was evaluated considering the changes in solution composition and boiling during actual concentration operations. Austenitic stainless-steel R-SUS304ULC is the structural material of the highly radioactive liquid waste concentrator in Japanese spent fuel reprocessing plant, which treats highly corrosive nitric acid solutions during enrichment operations. The study results show that it is necessary to focus on nitric acid concentrations, oxidizing metal ion concentrations, and decompression boiling as factors that accelerate the corrosion rate of stainless steel because of cathodic reaction activation.

The yield stress of Fe-24Ni-0.3C (wt.%) metastable austenitic steel increased 3.5 times (158 551 MPa) when the average grain size decreased from 35 m (coarse-grained [CG]) to 0.5 m (ultrafine-grained [UFG]), whereas the tensile elongation was kept large (0.87 0.82). neutron diffraction measurements of the CG and UFG Fe-24Ni-0.3C steels were performed during tensile deformation at room temperature to quantitatively elucidate the influence of grain size on the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms. The initial stages of plastic deformation in the CG and UFG samples were dominated by dislocation slip, with deformation-induced martensitic transformation (DIMT) also occurring in the later stage of deformation. Results show that grain refinement increases the initiation stress of DIMT largely and suppresses the rate of DIMT concerning the strain, which is attributed to the following effects. (i) Grain refinement increased the stabilization of austenite and considerably delayed the initiation of DIMT in the 111//LD (LD: loading direction) austenite grains, which were the most stable grains for DIMT. As a result, most of the 111//LD austenite grains in the UFG specimens failed to transform into martensite. (ii) Grain refinement also suppressed the autocatalytic effect of the martensitic transformation. Nevertheless, the DIMT with the low transformation rate in the UFG specimen was more efficient in increasing the flow stress and more appropriate to maintain uniform deformation than that in the CG specimen during deformation. The above phenomena mutually contributed to the excellent combination of strength and ductility of the UFG metastable austenitic steel.

Natural monoclinic zirconia (baddeleyite) was irradiated with 340-MeV Au ions, and the irradiation-induced nanostructures (i.e., ion tracks and nanohillocks) were observed using transmission electron microscopy. The diameter of the nanohillocks is approximately 10 nm, which is similar to the maximum molten region size calculated using the analytical thermal spike model. Ion tracks are imaged as strained regions that maintain their crystalline structure. The cross-sections of most of the ion tracks are imaged as parallelopiped or rectangular contrasts as large as 10 nm. These results strongly indicate that the molten region is recrystallized anisotropically, reflecting the lattice structure. Furthermore, low-density track cores are formed in the center of the ion tracks. The formation of low-density track cores can be attributed to the ejection of molten matter toward the surface.

The present study focuses on a novel hydrogen-improved strength-ductility balance in some practical Fe-Cr-Ni-based austenitic alloys, which directly depends on the solute hydrogen content. The hydrogen absorption energy of the Fe-Cr-Ni model alloys with the face-centered cubic structure was examined using first-principles calculations to verify the contribution of Cr and Ni substitutions from Fe to the hydrogen solubility in the alloys. The Cr substitution substantially reduced the hydrogen absorption energy compared to the Ni substitution, whereby the increased Cr/Ni ratio exerts higher hydrogen solubility. The propensity in the calculations coincided with the experimental results obtained previously in the practical alloys with various Cr / Ni ratios.

Some solute atoms induce hardening and embrittlement in body-centered-cubic refractory metals. Especially interstitial oxygen has a dramatic hardening effect in Nb, where the yield stress of oxygen-doped Nb alloys becomes more than twice as high as that of pure Nb. Conventional mechanisms cannot explain the oxygen-induced dramatic hardening since the interaction between dislocation and oxygen is relatively weak. Here, we focused on the three-body interaction of a screw dislocation with oxygen and vacancy. Our first-principles calculations revealed that the formation of vacancy-oxygen pair enhances the attractive interaction with a screw dislocation though the interaction between oxygen and dislocation is repulsive. Furthermore, this feature was found to be a unique nature of oxygen in Nb. The vacancy-oxygen pair increases the energy barrier for dislocation motion more significantly than an isolated vacancy and oxygen interstitial. We have discovered a new oxygen-induced mechanism: a unique octahedral-tetrahedral shuffling process of oxygen dominantly contributes to the dramatic hardening. Thus, the widely distributed vacancy-oxygen pairs behave as strong obstacles for dislocation motion that causes damage accumulation and successive hardening in oxygen-doped BCC alloys.

The thermal conductivities of near-stoichiometric (U,Pu,Am)O $_{2}$ doped with Nd $_{2}$ O $_{3}$ /Sm $_{2}$ O $_{3}$ , which is major fission product (FP) generated by a uranium-plutonium mixed oxides (MOX) fuel irradiation, as simulated fission products are evaluated at 1073-1673 K. The thermal conductivities are calculated from the thermal diffusivities that are measured using the laser flash method. To evaluate the thermal conductivity from a homogeneity viewpoint of Nd/Sm cations in MOX, the specimens with different homogeneity of Nd/Sm are prepared using two kinds of powder made by ball-mill and fusion methods. A homogeneous Nd/Sm distribution decreases the thermal conductivity of MOX with increasing Nd/Sm content, whereas heterogeneous Nd/Sm has no influence. The effect of Nd/Sm on the thermal conductivity is studied using the classical phonon transport model (A+BT) $^{-1}$ . The dependences of the coefficients A and B on the Nd/Sm content (C $_{Nd}$ and C $_{Sm}$ , respectively) are evaluated as: A(mK/W)=1.70 10 $^{-2}$ + 0.93C $_{Nd}$ + 1.20C $_{Sm}$ , B(m/W)=2.39 10 $^{-4}$ .

A significant increase in the recovery strain of a high-Zr -Ti alloy from 2.25 % to 5.5 % when decreasing the deformation temperature from 300 K to 77 K is reported in this study. It is found that the super-elasticity of this alloy is independent of the -grain size at 77 K. The results reveal that a coarse-grained specimen exhibited approximately the same super-elasticity as its ultra-fine grain counterpart at 77 K. The relative easiness of deformation-induced martensitic transformation and dislocation slip was substantially changed at 77 K, with a strong suppression of dislocation slip, which overshadowed the effect of grain refinement on the super-elasticity.
