Abstract

Fe ion irradiation-induced defects in F82H model alloys were studied using positron annihilation lifetime measurements. Irradiation was performed with an accelerating voltage of 6.0 MeV to a dose of 22 dpa at 593 K. In addition, a comparative study was conducted with results from our previous neutron irradiation measurements for F82H model alloys. The results showed an apparent decrease of the mobility of interstitial clusters in Fe by addition of Cr. This finding supports the configuration model of Cr on void swelling resistance in Fe–Cr alloys. A remarkable delay of defect structural evolution was also observed by ion irradiation compared to neutron irradiation because of a high damage rate.
