被引用回数:1Dual-phase (DP) steel, composed of soft ferrite and hard martensite, offers excellent strength-ductility balance and low cost. This study found that refining the DP microstructure enhanced both yield strength and strain hardening, improving strength and ductility. Digital image correlation (DIC) revealed strain localization in ferrite, but refinement reduced strain differences between ferrite and martensite, suppressing crack initiation. More ferrite/martensite interfaces promoted plasticity in martensite via enhanced deformation constraint. neutron diffraction showed martensite bore higher phase stress, which increased with refinement. By combining
-DIC and neutron data, individual stress-strain curves for ferrite and martensite were constructed for the first time, explaining the strength-ductility synergy through interphase constraint. These findings offer guidance for designing heterostructured materials to overcome the strength-ductility trade-off.

Lattice parameters of product and matrix phases in steels have been measured using in situ X-ray and neutron diffraction during forward and reverse transformations. These parameters are influenced by temperature, transformation-induced internal stresses, alloying element partitioning, crystal defects, and magnetic strains. Disentangling these contributions is essential for understanding lattice behavior. This review explores internal strain (stress) associated with ferrite, pearlite, bainite, martensite, and reverse austenite transformations, emphasizing the distinction between diffusional and displacive mechanisms. It also examines how plastic deformation of austenite affects subsequent bainite or martensite formation. The roles of dislocations and vacancies are identified as critical areas for further research.

Zirconolite is a wasteform that can immobilize Pu. Herein, zirconolites comprising Ce as a Pu simulant and Al as a charge compensator of Ce/Pu were synthesized by sintering raw CaO, ZrO, TiO
, CeO
, and Al
O
powder mixtures at 1400
C in static air. The reduction behavior and phase transformation of zirconolites during their heat treatment in an Ar-H
gas flow were investigated. All zirconolite compositions first underwent reduction at
1050
C by forming a small domain of perovskite phase. Ce-Al co-doped zirconolite showed a smaller fraction of phase transformation in perovskite than Ce-doped zirconolite, indicating the advantage of using a charge compensator to prevent perovskite formation.

Stress and plastic strain distributions and those partitioning behaviors of ferrite and retained austenite were investigated in the medium manganese (Mn) and the transformation-induced plasticity-aided bainitic ferrite (TBF) steels, and the martensitic transformation behaviors of retained austenite during Luders elongation and work hardening were analyzed using synchrotron X-ray diffraction at SPring-8. The stress and plastic strain of retained austenite and volume fraction of retained austenite were remarkably changed during Luders deformation in the medium Mn steel, implying that the medium Mn steel possessed inhomogeneous deformation at the parallel part of the tensile specimen. On the other hand, the distributions of the stress, plastic strain and volume fraction of retained austenite were homogeneous and the homogeneous deformation occurred at the parallel part of the tensile specimen at the plastic deformation regime with work hardening in the medium Mn and TBF steels. The martensitic transformation of retained austenite at uders deformation in the medium Mn steel was possessed owing to the application of high stress and preferential deformation at retained austenite, resulting in a significant increase in the plastic deformation and reduction of stress in the retained austenite. The martensitic transformation of retained austenite at the plastic deformation regime with work hardening was induced by the high dislocation density and newly applied plastic deformation in retained austenite in the medium Mn steel whereas the TBF steel possessed gradual transformation of retained austenite which is applied high tensile stress and moderate plastic deformation.

SIMMER-III/SIMMER-IVは液体金属高速炉の炉心崩壊事故(CDA)の解析に使用する計算コードである。CDAの事象進展は炉心物質間の熱伝達係数(HTC)により大きく影響される。溶融・固化、蒸発・凝縮といった質量移行現象も熱伝達により支配される。複雑な多相・多成分系においては、一つの流体成分と他の流体又は構造材表面との間での多数の異なるHTCを計算する必要がある。また、多相流の流動様式や構造材の配位に従って異なる伝熱モードを考慮する必要もある。結果として、各計算セルごとに数十のHTCが計算される。本報告書には、SIMMER-III/SIMMER-IVのHTCモデルの役割、選定したHTC相関式とその技術的背景、流動様式の取扱いとHTCの内挿方法、検証及び妥当性確認の成果概要を記載する。

VOF法は移流界面を含む混相流解析に最も広く適用されているCFDの一種であり、高精度なVOF値の移流のために数多くの「界面捕獲スキーム」が開発されている。しかし、これらのスキームの性能は典型的に、空間的に規則的な速度場が時間固定された限られた数値問題に対してのみ評価されており、原子炉内の気液二相流などのより現実的で複雑な条件に対してこれらのスキームの性能を評価する研究はほとんど実施されていない。そこで本研究では、比較的近年開発されたTHINCおよびTHINC/WLICという界面捕捉スキームを用いて気泡流の3次元解析を実施し、その結果を、炉内ボイド率分布に影響するような気泡の数、体積、軌跡といったより工学的な指標を用いて評価する。これらの比較の結果は、界面捕獲スキームの選択によってはVOF値が著しく拡散し、気泡が数値的に分裂・消散する可能性を示した。

The experiment and analysis procedures for a sample exhibiting multimodal structures were outlined. The sample, a MgZn
Y
alloy, initially comprised two phases: the HCP
matrix (
Mg) and the long-period stacking ordered phase (LPSO), constituting approximately 25% of the volume. Through hot extrusion at 623 K with an extrusion ratio (R) of 5.0, the alloy was rendered multimodal. Specifically, at an R value of 5.0, dynamic recrystallization occurred partially within the
Mg phase, resulting in a bimodal microstructure. This microstructure consisted of a deformed
Mg component and a recrystallized
Mg component. An analysis employing Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) data facilitated multimodal characterization, enabling successful determination of stresses within the individual
Mg components, as well as the LPSO phase stress.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:25.62(Nuclear Science & Technology)To improve the safety of future SFRs, the development of SFRs with low void reactivity has been promoted. Small SFRs can have a negative void coefficient of reactivity, so the analysis of the CDA event sequence in small SFRs is valuable for the investigation of the reactor characteristics for the future research and development of SFRs. In this study, the typical initiating events of a CDA in small SFRs were evaluated with the computational code, SAS4A. The event progression of ULOF and UTOP in the low void reactivity reactor is found to be slow due to the effective operation of the negative reactivity feedback and the absence of significant positive reactivity insertion. No power excursion occurs in the initiating phase. In ULOF, the cladding melt and relocation behavior becomes more important for the evaluation of the event progression due to its positive reactivity.

被引用回数:21 パーセンタイル:98.10(Engineering, Mechanical)The unique control mechanisms of the plastic deformation of two-phase extruded alloy composed of Mg and long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase were clarified by comparison with those of other Mg solid-solution alloys, focusing on the question of why do the Mg/LPSO two-phase alloys exhibit both large elongation and high strength? The stress-strain curves for each grain in the alloys could be imaginary estimated using neutron diffraction analysis during the tensile test. The results demonstrate that the deformation behaviors of the worked and recrystallized grains are significantly different in all the Mg-extruded alloys owing to the strong plastic anisotropy in Mg with hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure. Therefore, the deformation behavior is controlled by a composite-like deformation mechanism, even in single-phase Mg solid-solution alloys.

About the boiling transition (BT) that determines the maximum thermal output of the BWR, it is considered that the spacers have significant effects on the occurrence of the BT. The occurrence conditions of the BT can be changed by devising the spacer shapes because it will affect to entrainment and deposition behaviors of droplets. In the light water cooled fast reactor: RBWR, thermal-hydraulics conditions are more challenging than in the current BWR. Then, the effect of the spacer on the BT should be sufficiently utilized in the RBWR. In the thermal-hydraulics design for the current BWR, large-scale tests were carried out and used to evaluate BT conditions. The RBWR is still in the design stage, and there is room to be changed to many parameters. Then, it is not reasonable to determine the shape of the spacer only by large-scale tests but also by local effect on droplet entrainment and deposition. On the other hand, by applying a two-phase CFD method with remarkable development in recent years, we can develop a model that can predict the effect of the spacers mechanistically. This research used the detailed two-phase flow simulation code TPFIT developed by JAEA to simulate annular dispersed flow in RBWR subchannels. In the occurrence of the BT, it is considered that the two-phase flow pattern is the annular dispersed flow, and we want to evaluate the effects of the spacer on annular dispersed flow in the RBWR subchannels. We performed numerical simulations of annular dispersed flow in the simplified subchannel of the RBWR. As a simulation parameter, we choose the existence of the spacer. The spacer in the simulation has a simplified shape and the same blockage ratio as the RBWR. In addition, we performed data analysis of numerical data and identified the occurrence and disappearance points of each droplet. We evaluate entrainment and deposition rate distribution in and around the spacer based on these data.
