Abstract

High-dose, high-energy particle radiation induces significant microstructural damage in metallic materials. Free surfaces are ideal sinks for radiation-induced defects. Hence, nanoporous materials with abundant free surfaces may have outstanding radiation tolerance. This review summarizes recent studies on the interactions of defect clusters with free surfaces, and the influence of free surfaces and temperature on radiation-induced microstructural changes, such as shrinkage of nanopores, in nanoporous metallic materials. The mechanical properties of irradiated nanoporous metals are also briefly summarized.
