摘要

Recrystallized ODS steel PM2000 was irradiated with 3.5-MeV Fe13+ ions at 700 °C to a displacement damage of 0.82 dpa to study the change of dispersoids in the steel under the irradiation. Dispersoids in the thin-foil specimens of the recrystallized steel before and after the irradiation were observed and analyzed using transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. The YAlO3, Al2Y4O9, YCrO3, and TiC phases pre-existing in the recrystallized steel remained in the irradiated steel. The irradiation caused a large change in the nature of dispersoids. After the irradiation, a greater number of finer particles were densely dispersed throughout the matrix, and three types of irradiation-induced phases were observed and identified in the irradiated steel. These irradiation-induced phases were Y2O3, having a simple monoclinic lattice, Al2Ti7O15, with a base-centered monoclinic lattice, and Al2Fe5O12, with an FCC lattice. The precipitation of carbides and intermetallic compounds occurred in the steel during the irradiation. They were identified to be Cr-rich M7C3 and M3C2 with the same simple orthorhombic lattice and Fe-Cr with a BCC lattice. The formation of these irradiation-induced phases in addition to the carbides and intermetallic compound is also discussed.
