Abstract
Spallation products Ca, Ti and Sc have been detected. The irradiation led to the production of about 370Â appm of Ca, 90Â appm of Sc and 800Â appm of Ti. APT experiments revealed that regardless their low bulk concentrations, the spallation products extensively participate in the evolution of the microstructure: formation of radiation-induced clusters, segregation at the dislocation loops and alteration of the microchemistry of carbides. In this paper, a quantitative description of the observed features is presented and results are compared with TEM data of the literature obtained on the same steel and under similar irradiation conditions.
