Abstract

To study the effect of tungsten, vanadium and tantalum on the microstructures in CLAM (China Low Activation Martensitic) steel after irradiation respectively, the microstructures of Fe-M (M= V ,W, Ta) model alloys were investigated after implanted deuterium ions using an ion accelerator at 773 K. After implanted deuterium ion, TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) observation and EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrom) analysis have been carried out. The result showed that tiny voids were observed in all model alloys after implanted the same dose of deuterium ions. The swelling rate in FeTa alloy was the smallest among the three alloys. Unlike FeW and FeV alloys, there was the segregation in FeTa alloy under a fluence of 5×1017 D+/cm2 at 773 K. A theoretical analysis showed that the void growth in FeTa alloy slowed down due to tantalum segregation near voids. It indicates that tantalum plays an important role in the improved irradiation resistance of CLAM steel.
