Times Cited Count:15 Percentile:70.38(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Irradiation creep behavior of the F82H and several JLF-1 steels have been measured up to 5 dpa, using helium-pressurized creep tubes irradiated in HFIR. These tubes were pressurized with helium to hoop stress levels of 0 to 400 MPa for irradiation temperature. The results of F82H and JLF-1 with 200 MPa hoop stress showed small creep strains ( 0.15%) after irradiation. Irradiation creep rate in these steels is linearly dependent on the applied stress less than 200 MPa. However, at higher hoop stress level, the creep rate of them is nonlinear. The creep compliance coefficient for F82H and JLF-1 at 300 C is very small values. These data contribute to a part of materials database for ITER Test blanket design work.

In a previous study, blanket, grain coarsenings were found in a mock-up around HIP-joined region. To verify an effect of the coarsenings on a strength of the HIP-joined region, tensile test and hardness measurement were done. As the results, the tensile strength increased by about 50 MPa, and the elongation decreased by about 4 % in comparison with that of a standard alloy. Though the hardness was almost constant both in the coarsening and a non-coarsening regions, both of these hardness increased by about 5 %. Therefore, it could be judged that change of the tensile property is due to increase of the hardness. On the other hand, tensile and impact tests of a base metal without coarsening resulted in DBTT increase by about 40 K, although the tensile property was nearly equal to that of the joined-region with coarsening. It can be understood that this is the effect of the heat treatments in the fabrication process of the mock-up.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:51.57(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)It has been a key issue to get the mechanical understanding of fracture process on microstructure basis, especially on neutron-irradiated materials, but not yet to be understood well enough as for the difficulty of making transmission electron microscope (TEM) thin film sample from mechanical-tested specimen. To solve this technical problem, the focused ion beam (FIB) micro-sampling system was installed to the Research Hot Laboratory of Japan Atomic Research Institute (JAERI), Japan. This system makes it possible to fabricate the TEM specimens from the critical points of mechanical-tested radioactive specimens, such as the crack initiation points of fatigue fracture on neutron irradiated specimen. In this paper, the microstructure of mechanical-tested specimen of Reduced Activation Ferritic/martensitic steels, RAFs are investigated focusing on the helium effects to fatigue fracture.
