Contributions to the mechanistic understanding of the microstructural evolution in irradiated U-Mo dispersion fuel

Here, advanced microstructural characterization techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy - energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (STEM-EDS), were used to interpret the fuel microstructure evolution and fission products behavior in U-Mo dispersion fuel irradiated in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) as part of the European Mini-Plate Irradiation Experiment (EMPIrE) test. The larger as-fabricated fuel grain size achieved by heat-treating the U-Mo powder resulted in slower high burnup structure (HBS) development and reduced fission gas porosity. Slower HBS kinetics was observed at the fuel kernels’ periphery, which contained smaller and less fission gas bubbles at all fission densities (FDs) investigated and was attributed to a locally reduced damage density and fission products concentration, as corroborated with Monte Carlo simulations. The non-refined grains at the fuel kernel periphery hosted a perfectly ordered fission Gas Bubble Superlattice (GBS) up to 6.3 × 10 21 fissions/cm 3 . Nano-scale STEM-EDS analysis presented in this study provided useful information on the GBS characteristic morphology and evolution in U-Mo fuel. The concentration of fission gas in the GBS progressively increased with FD, pointing to an evolution of the nanobubble pressure status with irradiation. A possible connection between the GBS collapse and HBS onset is proposed for which there exists a threshold in the misorientation of the refined sub-grains above which the GBS stability during irradiation is no longer preserved, resulting in the GBS collapse.

Microstructural evolution in doped high entropy alloys NiCoFeCr-3X (X=Pd/Al/Cu) under irradiation

Commonly studied equatomic single-phase FCC high entropy alloys based on 3d transition metals like NiCoFeCr do not provide adequate strength and radiation resistance at high doses for nuclear structural applications. In the current study, the major alloying effects like lattice distortion, ordering and clustering tendencies were investigated by adding low concentration of Pd, Al, or Cu respectively to study the doping effects on the ion irradiation response of NiCoFeCr alloy. The alloys were irradiated with 3 MeV Ni 2+ ions at 500 °C to a fluence of 1 × 10 17 /cm 2 at a beam flux of approximately 2.8 × 10 12 ions/cm 2 /s. The microstructural evolution upon irradiation i.e., formation of dislocation networks, radiation induced segregation and precipitation, and void formation were studied in detail. Further, post-irradiation characterization results showed that a Pd addition leads to a high void nucleation rate but controlled void growth, which may be attributed to increased lattice distortion. In Al added HEA, our microstructural analysis indicates that radiation induced ordered L1 2 precipitates do not affect void swelling significantly. Cu addition led to Cu precipitation that drastically suppressed dislocation density and void swelling of the alloy. Additionally, a model was developed to qualitatively describe the trend in void swelling of typical FCC alloys under ion irradiation. This model was able to qualitatively explain the suppression and reappearance of void swelling in ion irradiated alloys that generally occurs near the region with peak implanted ion concentration.

Phase stability and microstructure of neutron-irradiated substoichiometric yttrium dihydrides

The impact of the neutron-displacement damage on phase stability and microstructure of substoichiometric yttrium dihydrides (YH x , x <2) were investigated to assess their use as solid moderator in high-temperature nuclear reactors. YH x specimens were, thus, subjected to neutron irradiations in the range of 0.1–2 displacements per yttrium atom (dpa-Y) in the temperature range of 536–878°C at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's (ORNL's) High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). YH x specimens were initially prepared at stoichiometry (H/Y) ratios of 1.69 and 1.83. HFIR-irradiated specimens were characterized by variety of techniques to investigate H retention characteristics including dimensional analysis, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD), transmission electron microscopy, thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS), and high-energy x-ray diffraction (HE-XRD) characterizations. Overall, YH x exhibited notable structural and phase stability under short-term neutron-irradiation, except for the samples with significant silicon carbide (SiC) interaction at high doses and temperatures. Basic dimensional and mass measurements were misleading for accurate assessment of H retention, as confirmed by EBSD phase maps, XRD line profiles, and TDS signals. Thus, it was discussed that a robust H retention metric is needed to assess irradiated hydrides. Further, nanoscale cavities were observed as a result of the neutron irradiation in all samples. Although no clear impact of dose and irradiation temperature was determined, the initial H/Y ratio had an impact on the cavity number density where low H/Y specimens had high-resistance to cavity formation. The Y-vacancy cluster formation at the collision stage of the displacement cascade and their stabilization by H were considered to be the likely underlying mechanisms for the observed cavity microstructure.

Back to functional hydrides: Effects of neutron-irradiated microstructure on hydrogen retention in yttrium hydride

Functional hydrides are promising candidates for advanced nuclear reactors, particularly in portable or transportable applications, due to their high hydrogen-retention capabilities, enabling efficient neutron moderation, and compact reactor design. However, hydrogen mobility in hydrides at elevated irradiation temperatures poses significant technological challenges, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of their irradiation behavior. Furthermore, this study investigated the microstructural and chemical stability of neutron-irradiated yttrium hydrides to assess their hydrogen-retention capacity. A targeted literature review was also conducted to contextualize neutron-irradiation effects on functional hydrides with regards to structural stability and hydrogen retention. Experimental characterizations revealed that, at high temperatures, irradiated hydrides retained their phase stability, which was likely enhanced by irradiation-induced microstructure evolution. Notably, an amorphous yttrium and oxygen -rich surface layer was present at the free surface of the hydride. Its thickness decreased while a continuous crystalline Y-O-rich layer was formed with increasing neutron damage. Additionally, the number density of dislocation loops and cavities generally increased as a function of neutron dose. First-principles calculations of hydrogen behavior within yttrium vacancy clusters in yttrium hydrides demonstrated vacancy-size-dependent hydrogen stability and configuration, highlighting the role of vacancy geometry in regulating hydrogen retention. Thus, the presence of irradiation-induced dislocation loops and cavities were hypothesized to improve hydrogen retention. Collectively, these findings advance the understanding of hydride behavior under neutron irradiation as well as their technological readiness for portable or transportable nuclear reactors.

The influence of iron incorporation on the microstructure and crystal chemistry of UO 2 fuel

The incorporation of dopants into UO 2 is of interest for both doped advanced fuel and nuclear forensics research. Suitable forensics dopants, or taggants, for nuclear fuels are ones that do not adversely affect the performance of the parent material while still being traceable during key stages of the fuel’s life cycle. In this paper, we present our efforts to understand the effects of doping UO 2 with Fe 2 O 3 under multiple parameters, such as Fe concentration (0–3000 wppm), sintering temperature (1673 K, 1773 K, and 1973 K), sintering time (2–12 h), and atmosphere (reducing and inert). Here, we investigated densification behavior, microstructure evolution, and lattice defects based on the geometric densities, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractograms, and Raman spectra. The effect of Fe on the microstructure and crystal chemistry of UO 2 is very complex, especially at the intermediate temperature (1773 K), where we found that densification kinetics are enhanced and that lattice contraction occurs for doping concentrations greater than 1000 wppm Fe.

In-situ synchrotron X-ray study on microstructure and stress evolutions of electroplated copper upon self-annealing

Background: The self-annealing behavior of electroplated copper (Cu) at room temperature is gaining attention in the microelectronics industry due to its significant impact on reliability issues such as substrate warpage and electrical resistivity. Methods: In this study, in-situ analysis of the microstructure transition and stress relaxation of the electroplated copper upon self-annealing was conducted via synchrotron white X-ray nanodiffraction (beamline 21A, Taiwan Photon Source) and grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (beamline 17B1, Taiwan Light Source). Significant Findings: Remarkable relaxations of deviatoric stress and absolute strain component along the [002] direction were closely related to the Cu grain growth and crystallographic reorientation at the early stage of selfannealing, and a complete stress/strain relaxation can be achieved with the cessation of microstructure transition. In conclusion, the in-situ synchrotron X-ray studies provided an insight into Cu self-annealing mechanism, offering valuable information for improving Cu interconnect reliability.

The influence of power spinning and annealing temperature on microstructures and properties of Cu-Sn alloy

Highlights: • The strengthening effect of power spinning is mainly achieved by strengthening fine grains and dislocations. • Twins formed by the aggregation and overlapping of stacking faults grow and widen • In power spinning of Cu-Sn alloy, plastic deformation is primarily powered by dislocation sliding. - Abstract: Electron back scatter diffraction pattern (EBSD), metallographic microscope (OM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) are used to analyze the microstructural state of the Cu-Sn alloy before and after power spinning and annealing. The results show that after power spinning, the α phase grains are refined and gradually evolve into small and fine α{sub II} and deformed α{sub III} crystal grains, with an average grain size of about 2.2 μm. Work hardening results in massive network-like subgrain boundaries distributed in power spinning microstructure. Annealing at 400 °C contributes to the formation of dislocation cells and stacking faults, and high-angle grain boundaries (HABS) start to migrate and slide. After the formation of less defective equiaxed grains at 500 °C, twins continue to grow and widen based through continuous accumulation of stacking faults. Further testing of mechanical properties reveals that power spinning is conducive to the improvement of mechanical properties of Cu-Sn alloy.

Annealing-induced microstructural evolution and mechanical anisotropy improvement of the Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy processed by hot ring rolling

Highlights: • Growth of SRX grains in GBR is random, while that of TBR is anisotropic. • The new texture component in annealed MR weakens the anisotropy obviously. • T6 treatment leads to an excellent comprehensive mechanical property. - Abstract: Hot ring rolling (HRR) is widely used to fabricate large-size seamless ring-shape components. However, this process produces a severe mechanical anisotropy, which is not acceptable in practical industrial application and should be avoided. This paper reports the annealing-induced microstructural evolution and mechanical anisotropy improvement of HRRed Mg-8.12Gd-1.82Y-0.35Zr alloy ring. Results show that annealing treatment could improve the microstructural homogeneity of the ring owing to the occurrence of static recrystallization (SRX). SRX grains are preferentially formed at twin boundaries and initial grain boundaries due to high dislocation density, high level of stored energy, and stress concentration. Twin boundaries, to some extent, can suppress the migration of SRX grain boundaries. In addition, occurrence of SRX weakens the texture intensity and basal pole inclination, leading to a decrease in the mechanical anisotropy of the ring. Considering the weakened anisotropy, comparable strength, and improved ductility, annealing + aging (T6), compared with direct aging (T5), is a more suitable heat treatment schedule for the HRRed Mg-8.12Gd-1.82Y-0.35Zr alloy ring.

Microstructure and texture evolution of deformed Mg-Zn alloy during recrystallization

Highlights: • The texture intensity in the Mg-Zn alloy relied on the microstructure. • Fine DRXed grains showed a fiber texture distributing between <10.0> and <11.0>. • Coarse DRXed grains mainly exhibited <11.0> fiber texture. • The preferred growth of <11.0> oriented grains resulted in texture evolution. - Abstract: The microstructure and texture evolution of Mg-Zn alloy during recrystallization was investigated by EBSD in the present study. Deformed region, fine DRXed region and coarse DRXed region were obtained in Mg-Zn alloy during deformation. It was found that the texture intensity in DRXed region was weaker compared with the deformed region. The second phase at grain boundaries resulted in the formation of fine DRXed grains with weaker texture compared with the coarse DRXed region. Additionally, a remarkable grain-size driven textural transition from <10.0>–<11.0> texture to <11.0> texture were detected with the growth of DRXed grains. The recrystallized grains with small grain size showed a fiber texture distributing homogeneously between <10.0> and <11.0>, while <11.0> fiber texture was predominant for the large recrystallized grains. It is suggested that <11.0> oriented grains grew faster than other oriented grains, which was ascribed to larger misorientation between <11.0> oriented grains and their neighboring grains.

Cascading microstructures in aluminum-steel interfaces created by impact welding

With the rising need to develop light weight structures joining dissimilar metals is inevitable. Thus a fundamental understanding of the microstructure evolution and bond formation mechanism is necessary. In this work we probe the welded interface in aluminum and steel joined using vaporizing foil actuator welding (VFAW) a novel impact welding process. The goal of such a detailed characterization campaign is to understand the bond formation mechanism. The study demonstrates that the interfacial microstructure has a pronounced hierarchical nature. At the macro scale, the interface is characterized by a wavy interface which is a result of extensive plastic deformation that accompanies the process. Detailed transmission electron microscopy shows evidence for the formation of a liquid film at the interface resulting in significant inter diffusion of Fe. The solidified structure at the interface consisted of crystalline α-Al and an amorphous metastable Al-Fe intermetallic compound similar to the observations in rapid solidification of Al-Fe alloys. The sub-nm scale characterization of the interface using atom probe tomography showed two distinct zones 1. A magnesium (5 at.%) and oxygen (15 at.%) rich (not detectable using energy dispersive spectroscopy) which was probably from the decomposition of the surface oxide film 2. The rapidly solidified reaction zone consisting of primary crystalline α-Al and an amorphous Al-Fe (15 at.%)-O (0.5 at.%)-Si (1.5 at.%).Based on these observations a mechanism for the bond formation is presented.

Microstructural and micro-mechanical analysis of 14YWT nanostructured Ferritic alloy after varying thermo-mechanical processing paths into tubing

Microstructural analyses and micro-pillar compression were conducted on 14YWT nanostructured ferritic alloy (NFA) to compare different processing pathways: hydrostatic extrusion and Pilger processing with varying annealing temperatures into thin walled tubing, and after hot extrusion and cross-rolling into a plate. Hydrostatic extrusion at 815 °C resulted in the smallest grain sizes and highest yield strength of 1.20 GPa. Pilger processing with annealing at 800 °C had fine grained regions and bands of coarse grains, leading to a large variation in yield strength of 0.9–1.40 GPa. Higher annealing temperatures of 1200 °C after pilger processing significantly increased the grain size and lowered the yield strength to 1.01 GPa. These tubes showed a stronger (111) crystallographic texture in the normal direction and elongated grains in the extrusion direction. Characterization of the nano-oxides using TEM reveals more numerous, smaller oxides present in tubing processed at lower temperatures. Overall, this work shows NFA tubing after hydrostatic extrusion and pilger processing can lead to fine grained microstructures and texturing leading to higher yield strengths at lower annealing temperatures (e.g. 800 °C).

The effects of microstructures and radiation damage on the deformation behavior of a HT-9 alloy using microtensile testing

Understanding the influence of radiation damage on the mechanical properties of HT-9 and other tempered martensitic alloys is part of the mission in developing radiation-tolerant materials for the next generation of nuclear reactors. Although there has been extensive data on the macroscopic mechanical properties of the irradiated HT-9 alloys and microstructural changes, it is not well-understood how radiation damage and the resulting microstructural changes influence the local mechanical properties. In this study, we utilized in situ SEM microtensile testing to investigate the deformation behavior of specific martensitic boundaries in 1 dpa proton-irradiated HT-9 and answered the question of what is the weakest link. Additionally, we provided the direct observation of the failure modes of microtensiles containing high angle and low angle martensitic boundaries. In the unirradiated condition, the deformation is ductile and no martensitic boundary failure is observed. In the irradiated condition, the high angle martensitic boundaries are more susceptible to radiation-induced boundary failure as compared to the low angle martensitic boundaries.

Microstructure and texture evolution of friction stir lap welded dissimilar multi-aluminum stack

Here this work investigates the microstructural evolution of a dissimilar multiple-aluminum alloy stack (AA7055, AA7055, AA6022) produced by friction stir lap welding (FSLW). A through-thickness analyses of grain orientation map, grain size and distribution, strain distribution, and texture evolution by electron backscattered diffraction-based characterization technique were performed. Two different welding parameters (combination of tool rotation and traverse speed) were used to study the effects of the welding parameters on these microstructural characteristics. The study shows that higher welding speed and higher rotation speed of the FSLW tool yield finer grains. FSLW resulted in shear texture formation in the weld regions due to high welding speeds. This texture development in the nugget zone is consistent with shear deformation, and (111) pole figures show ideal shear texture components. The Stir Zone (SZ) exhibits shear texture (A/A ̅ and B/B ̅ components), consistent with other shear-assisted processes. Recrystallization mechanisms observed are CDRX in SZ and DDRX in TMAZ (Thermo-Mechanically Affected Zone). Interface analysis reveals the presence of oxide layers between different aluminum sheets, affecting joint mechanical performance. The mechanical property of the lap welded joints was presented in terms of microhardness distribution across the weld cross section. Slightly higher hardness in higher speed welding setup was observed throughout the SZ and AA6022 layer, indicating greater grain refinement and uniform grain structure distribution.

Elucidating microstructural evolution and hardness variation across friction self-piercing riveted Al-7055 using synchrotron X-ray scattering and advanced microscopy techniques

Friction self-piercing riveting (FSPR) is a unique hybrid joining technique that combines the advantages of mechanical interlocking, frictional heat, and solid-state joining (if metallurgically compatible) to produce crack free joints in high strength and/or low-ductility alloys at room temperature. Here, in the current study, Al-7055 sheets were joined using FSPR for lightweight automotive applications and significant microhardness variations were observed across the joint cross-section. A detailed microstructural characterization at multiple length scales was carried out using advanced electron microscopy and X-ray scattering techniques to provide a fundamental understanding of the process-structure-property relationships. The relative contributions of microstructural characteristics at various length scales (i.e., grain size, dislocation density, solute concentration, precipitate nature) to strengthening were estimated using existent formulations (i.e., Hall-Petch, Taylor, precipitate bypass/shear equations) and correlated to the observed microhardness values across different regions. Small-angle X-ray scattering and scanning transmission electron microscopy revealed significant changes in the size and volume fraction of precipitate species, i.e., GP-I Zones, η′, and Mg/Zn solute co-clusters, depending on the process region. It was observed that the dissolution of the small η′/GP-I zones (T ∼ 150–200 °C) in the heat-affected zone were the key reason for the hardness drop. Further, it was shown that solid-solution, dislocation, grain size and solute co-cluster strengthening played a key role in the thermo-mechanically affected zone and grain-refined zone (GRZ). Finally, these observations were leveraged along with the Zener-Holloman relationship and grain size in the GRZ to estimate the peak joining temperature of the GRZ (∼ 350 °C) near the steel rivet.

Microstructural and physicochemical origins of electroless copper deposition on graphite enhanced by acid pretreatment

We report Acid treatment is the most widely used surface modification method for enhancing the electroless metal deposition (EMD) on carbon reinforcement materials (CRMs) for metal matrix nanocomposites. However, specific microstructural and physicochemical origins of the enhanced EMD on carbon surfaces by acid treatments have been rarely studied. Here, we investigated the effects of the nitric acid treatment on graphite, a prototypical combination of acid treatment and CRM, on the fidelity of Cu EMD and their structural and chemical origins. Complementary materials characterizations and density functional theory calculations revealed the acid-induced formation of broken C–C/C=C graphitic bonds and resulting surface micropores on graphite; this enabled a uniform dispersion of catalytic Sn/Pd nanoparticles during pre-EMD sensitization/activation processes via spontaneous binding of Sn and Pd ions and, consequently, a much more uniform Cu layer EMD compared to the untreated graphite. We proposed a general mechanism illustrating how the acid-induced microstructural and chemical modifications of carbon surface affected the spatial uniformity of catalytic metal reduction during EMD and, finally, the quality of deposited metal layer. The results clearly reveal the origins of the enhanced EMD on carbon materials by acid treatments, providing guidelines for optimizing EMD on general CRMs for high-performance metal matrix nanocomposites.

Effect of laser power on defect, texture, and microstructure of a laser powder bed fusion processed 316L stainless steel

The effect of laser power on defect characteristics, microstructure development, constituent phases, and crystallographic texture was studied on a laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) processed 316L stainless steel. A series of cylindrical specimens were additively manufactured as a function of laser power ranging from 380 to 200W with a fixed scan speed of 300 mm/s using a selective laser melting system. The density (in terms of count, surface area, and porosity), size (mean values of major axis length, surface area, and volume), shape (aspect ratio and sphericity), and orientation (in terms of the angle between the major axis and build direction) of macroscopic defects in as-printed L-PBF cylinders were characterized using high-resolution synchrotron x-ray computed microtomography with a 0.65μm resolution. Moreover, the changes in the preferred crystallographic orientations and constituent phases were investigated using high-energy synchrotron x-ray diffraction. Finally, the melt pool shape and grain size/orientation were analyzed using metallography. The results show that the porosity increases linearly from 0.13 to 0.88% with the decrease in laser power. However, even with the decrease in laser power by about half and corresponding seven-fold increase in porosity, the 200W case can still be considered as nearly fully dense. On the other hand, with the same decrease in the laser power, the melt pool size/shape, grain size, and texture changed significantly. In conclusion, the role of energy input in the simultaneous changes in defect properties and microstructure development will be discussed.

Effect of laser scanning speed on the microstructure, phase transformation and mechanical property of NiTi alloys fabricated by $\mathrm{LPBF}$

This study investigated the effects of laser scanning speed on the microstructure, phase transformation and properties of NiTi alloys fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). In this study, the contributions of metallurgical factors under different scanning speeds, such as Ni evaporation, Ni4Ti3 precipitation, dislocations and internal stress, to the transformation temperature and transformation latent heat were clarified through specially designed experiments. Ni evaporation is found to have the most profound effect, followed by precipitation. Increasing scanning speed is found to reduce Ni loss, thus cause less increase in the transformation temperature and transformation heat of the LPBF-NiTi alloys. Increasing scanning speed also increases the microstructure non-uniformity and thus widens the transformation temperature interval. The orientations of residual stress exhibit strong crystallographic stiffness dependence. The LPBF-NiTi alloys with different scanning speeds all exhibited high strains (>13.4%) and excellent shape memory effect. A LPBF-NiTi honeycomb structure exhibited 96% shape recovery rate after a 60% pre-compressive deformation. Besides, there is an optimum scanning speed for minimum porosity and smallest average pore size. However, the pore structure is found to have weak influence on the tensile behaviour of the LPBF-NiTi alloys, possibly due to the high defect tolerance of the martensitic transformation.

Quantification of solution annealing effects on microstructure and property in a laser powder bed fusion 316H stainless steel

Solution annealing (SA) is an effective way to mitigate microstructural heterogeneity and to optimize mechanical performance of alloys manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). In this study, a comprehensive and quantitative understanding of the recovery and recrystallization processes in the SA temperature range of LPBF 316H stainless steel is provided using results from analytical electron microscopy and in-situ high-energy synchrotron x-ray scattering. The profound effect of dislocation structures and secondary phase particles on mechanical performance, particularly under tension and creep conditions, is rationalized using deformation models that incorporate microstructural inputs. This study, for the first time, quantifies the broad effect of nano oxide inclusions on dislocation recovery kinetics, on grain growth and recrystallization kinetics, and on tension strength and creep resistance. The fundamental differences between the LPBF and the conventional wrought materials are revealed. The findings address critical questions in post-build processing of AM materials and pave the way for their rapid qualification for high temperature applications.
