Abstract

The swelling and phase stability of neutron-irradiated FeCrMn and FeCrNi alloys are compared in the range 420–600°C. While the behavior of the two alloy systems exhibits many similarities, that of the FeCrMn system is more complex, involving a higher level of phase instabilities. However, the sensitivity of radiation-induced density changes to composition is less in the FeCrMn system. In the FeCrMn system there are three major components of density change, namely void growth, ferrite formation and lattice parameter changes of the retained austenite; whereas void swelling is the only major component of density change in the FeCrNi system.
