Abstract
Chromium alloys are perspective structural materials for use at high neutron irradiation doses. The low chromium alloy and alloys with 10% and 35% Fe content were investigated after irradiation at 600–750°C up to 2.8–4.7 × 10 26 n/m 2 ( E > 0.1 MeV). As a result of irradiation, considerable embrittlement occured in all alloys. The brittle—ductile transition temperature, T k, increases up to 200–600°C. Radiation embrittlement is caused by radiation strengthening due to formation of vacant voids or by formation of the brittle σ-phase. In CrFe alloys, there is radiation-induced segregation leading to the enrichment of the sinks with iron.
