Abstract

We have developed a new model for radiation-induced grain boundary migration (RIGM) and radiation-induced segregation (RIS) for austenitic iron-chromium-nickel alloy system. It was assumed that the RIS was induced by diffusional and annihilation processes of excess point defects at the grain boundary, and the RIGM occurred due to rearrangement process of atoms on one of the interfacial planes by annihilation of point defects. The calculated results indicated that the region of RIS was enlarged by the RIGM and asymmetrical concentration profiles were observed around the migrated grain boundary. The present model could explain the RIS behavior with or without grain boundary migration as comparing with our previous experimental results.
