Abstract
Titanium additions suppress the radiation swelling in vanadium alloys, but the mechanism of the suppression is debatable. It is claimed that interactions of Ti atoms with vacancies in vanadium are crucial in the suppression. In this paper we study clustering of excess vacancies in pure V and V-4Ti by molecular dynamics simulations at 700 K based on our interatomic potentials constructed earlier for the Ti-V system. For pure V the process results in the formation of a Frank sessile dislocation while the clustering in V-4Ti ends with the formation of the Ti-vacancies complexes with a specific structure. This allows us to discuss a possible mechanism of the swelling reduction in V caused by Ti alloying.
