10 Which role can irradiation play? 4. Gamma radiation only ionizes electrons or excites atoms. Neutrons: knock-out atoms from the lattice Epithermal neutrons ( >0,5 ev )and fast neutrons (>100 kev), Primary knock-out atoms with higher kinetic energy produce secondary knock out atoms with smaller kinetic energy, Atom depletion area and local surrounding the place of neutron absorption, Open-volume defect accumulation change of diameters and material swelling. Material transmutation - changes of the nuclear-physical, chemical and mechanical properties Thermal neutrons (<0,5 ev), (n, α) and (n, p) nuclear reaction accumulation of helium and hydrogen nuclei, Defect immobilization by helium residual stress increasing, Hydrogen diffusion to the grain boundaries and segregation - embrittlement and intergranular corrosion Fe( n, Cu( n, ) B( n, ) He( n, p) p) Li( n, ) 7 3 Li H H Mn Co

Setups (for irradiated materials), digital Doppler Broadening set-up, experiences with PLEPS measurements at FRM-II in Garching from past Moessbauer spectroscopy, Atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Barkhausen Noises measurements, Alfa, beta, gamma spectroscopy including low/background chamber, In collaboration with other institutes: TEM, SEM and Auger spectroscopy

14 Reasons for application of PAS Mechanical tests give not enough information about changes in material microstructure. Therefore, additional methods should be applied. PAS technique is a well-established method for studying open-volume type atomic defects and defect s interactions in metals Ability of PAS to detect very small defects as well as very low defects concentration PAS can give additional information about radiation induced defects, thermal annealing of these defects.
15 What kind of information we can obtain from Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy? Defects density Annealing effectiveness Precipitation Types of defects Report: EUR EN Vladimír Slugeň JRC-Petten, Near surface region study Microstructural changes due to irradiation, ageing,...

21 Depth (nm) PAS Results - Annealing temperature for WWER-steels at 475 C is acceptable, but PAS gives more information t ( C) (ps) Slugen et al: NTD&E Int. 37 (2004) Kryukov et al: JNM 416 (2011) The 3D presentation of PLEPS results (Tau1) of irradiated (1.25x10E24m -2 ) and annealed Sv-10KhMFT steel (WWER-440 weld). The effectiveness of the annealing process to removing of small defects (mono/divacancies or Frenkel pairs) can be followed via significant decrease of parameter tau1. This figure also shows rapid increase of mentioned small defects in WWER type of RPV steels after about 480 ºC t ( C) Depth (nm)
22 PLEPS results Dependency of intensity in large defects (positron lifetime > 350 ps) e.g. voids, shows peak in depth of ~ 500 nm which correspond well with depth profile of helium implantation. 13 October

26 Mössbauer spectroscopy - was confirmed as a good for distinguishing between materials (due to different Cr content), however the surface study in backscattered geometry showed only very slight changes in Mössbauer parameters due to helium implantation X-Ray diffraction Complementary non-destructive results - possible distinguishing between materials and observable changes (increasing) in lattice parameter due to helium implantation (near surface study in grazing incidence geometry) Metallography, SEM, TEM Any relevant information from different experimental techniques can contribute to the creation of complex image about material microstructure processes under radiation treatment. 13 October

(fcc alloys) can severely enhance fracture toughness degradation at low temp. (bcc alloys) 13 October 2014 Materna-Morris, FZK, IMF-I Swelling V/V 0 Zinkle, ORNL He/dpa ratio (appm He/dpa) 30
31 Ion implantation of ferritic/martensitic steels Reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steels are candidate for application in Gen. VI and fusion nuclear facilities Expected high radiation damage (>150 DPA) by high energy particles (neutrons) Due to neutron activation and high costs were, for laboratory experiments, chosen charged He ++ ions. SRIM code simulations of radiation damage caused by He ions showed high level of damage (~100 DPA) as expected after neutron irradiation Therefore, from the cascade collisions and vacancy type defects production and behavior point of view, can be reached valuable results of materials behavior under ion irradiation Linear accelerator at Slovak University of Technology was used for He ions implantation 13 October
32 Ion implantation of ferritic/martensitic steels Binary Fe-Cr model alloys were implanted by 250 kev He ions. Group of chosen specimens was afterwards implanted also with 100 kev in order to observe two peaks of maximum damage Five levels of implanted dose were chosen: Dose [C/cm2] Dose [ions/cm 2 ] 6.24x x x x x10 18 Calc. damage [DPA] October
