Displacement damage, through heavy ion irradiation was studied on two tungsten grades (coarse grained tungsten (CGW) and nanocrystalline and ultrafine grained tungsten (NCW)) using different displacement per atom rates and different irradiation temperatures (RT and 1050 K). Percentage of <111> and <100> type loops at the irradiation conditions was determined. Irradiation damage in the microstructure was quantified using average loop areas and densities (method A) and loop areal fraction in the grain matrices under 2-beam diffraction conditions (method B). Average values of <111> and <100> loops were calculated from method A. Loop coalescence was shown to occur for CGW at 0.25 dpa. Using both methods of quantifying microstructural damage, no effect of dpa rate was observed and damage in CGW was shown to be the same at RT and 1050 K. Swelling from voids observed at 1050 K was quantified. The loop damage in NCW was compared to CGW at the same diffraction and imaging conditions. NCW was shown to possess enhanced irradiation resistance at RT regarding loop damage and higher swelling resistance at 1050 K compared to CGW. For irradiation at 1050 K, the NCW was shown to have similar defect densities to the CGW which is attributed to higher surface effects in the CGW, vacancy loop growth to voids and a better sink efficiency in the CGW deduced from the vacancy distribution profiles from Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Loop density and swelling was shown to have similar values in grains sizes that range from 80 to 600 nm. No loop or void denuded zones occurred at any of the irradiation conditions. This work has a collection of experiments and conclusions that are of vital importance to materials and nuclear energy communities. Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of Acta Materialia Inc.

Temperature dependent dispersoid stability in ion-irradiated ferritic-martensitic dual-phase oxide-dispersion-strengthened alloy: Coherent interfaces vs. incoherent interfaces
Chen, Tianyi; Gigax, Jonathan G.; Price, Lloyd; Chen, Di; Ukai, S.; Aydoğan Güngör, Eda; Maloy, S. A.; Garner, F. A.; Shao, Lin (Elsevier BV, 2016-09-01)
In this study, the microstructure of a 12Cr ferritic-martensitic oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) alloy is studied before and after Fe ion irradiation up to 200 peak displacements per atom (dpa). Irradiation temperature ranges from 325 to 625 degrees C. Before irradiation, both coherent and incoherent dispersoids exist in the matrix. In response to irradiation, the mean sizes of dispersoids in both the ferrite and tempered martensite phases change to equilibrium values that increase with irradiation temp...
Kinetics of fcc-Al nanocrystallization in Al90Tb10 metallic glass
DEMIRTAS, T.; Kalay, Yunus Eren (Elsevier BV, 2013-10-15)
The crystallization kinetics of Al90Tb10 amorphous alloy were investigated by a combined study of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Cu-K alpha X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses and microhardness measurements. Amorphous to fcc-Al transformation kinetics were descried through Johnson-Mehl-Avrami OMA) approach based on the isothermal DSC hold at 220 degrees C. XRD and TEM revealed the formation of highly populated (similar to 10(21) m(-3)) fcc-Al nanocrystals after...
Enhancement in the high-T-c phase of BSCCO superconductors by Nb addition
Sozeri, Huseyin; Ghazanfari, Nader; Ozkan, Husnu; Kilic, Ahmet (IOP Publishing, 2007-06-01)
Pure and Nb2O5 added Bi1.6Pb0.4Nbx Sr2Ca2Cu3O delta superconductors ( x varies up to 0.30) were synthesized by the solid state reaction method. Structural and superconducting properties of the samples were investigated. The fraction of the high-T-c phase ( 2223) increases with Nb addition up to x = 0.10, for which a nearly single 2223 phase was obtained. The critical temperature of the samples increases from 96 to 104 K with doping up to x = 0.20 and a further increase in Nb decreases the Tc sharply. Simila...
In Situ Micro-Pillar Compression to Examine Radiation-Induced Hardening Mechanisms of FeCrAl Alloys
Cui, Yuchi; Aydoğan Güngör, Eda; Gigax, Jonathan G.; Wang, Yongqiang; Misra, Amit; Maloy, Stuart A.; Li, Nan (Elsevier BV, 2021-01-01)
© 2020The effects of 5 MeV Fe2+ ion irradiation at 300°C on the microstructure evolution and deformation behavior of a FeCrAl C26M alloy are presented. It has been found that dislocation loop density increases an order of magnitude from 1 dpa to 16 dpa irradiations, whereas, the dislocation loop size saturates with increasing damage. Micropillars, 600 nm in diameter and 1.3 µm in height, were fabricated and compressed inside grains with , and crystallographic orientations, respectively. {112} has been id...
Response of 14YWT alloys under neutron irradiation: A complementary study on microstructure and mechanical properties
Aydoğan Güngör, Eda; Carvajal-Nunez, U.; Schneider, M. M.; Gigax, J. G.; Krumwiede, D. L.; Hosemann, P.; Saleh, T. A.; Mara, N. A.; Hoelzer, D. T.; Hilton, B.; Maloy, S. A. (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01)
Nanostructured ferritic alloys (NFAs) having sub-micron grain size with a high density of nano-oxides (NOs) (size of similar to 2-3 nm) are one of the best candidates for structural components in Generation IV nuclear systems. In this study, 14YWT NFA cladding tubes were irradiated in BOR60 reactor up to 7 dpa at 360-370 degrees C. Detailed microstructural analysis has been conducted using bright field transmission electron microscopy, bright field scanning transmission electron microscopy, energy filtered ...
