Abstract

High-temperature helium ion irradiation was conducted on a nickel-based alloy at 650 °C. A unique outward migration of helium bubbles was observed in the irradiated alloy under molten salt environment, distinguished from the evolution of helium bubbles induced by room-temperature irradiation, which is related to the deficit of vacancies in the high-temperature irradiated alloy and slow growth rate of the bubbles. Moreover, it was elucidated that corrosion induced vacancies rather than high-temperature annealing effect of molten salt is responsible for the evolution of helium bubbles formed by high-temperature helium ion irradiation.
