Abstract

This paper deals with the evolution of the dislocation structure, phase composition and vacancy voids in new reactor stainless steels over the temperature interval from 550 to 650 °C under irradiation with krypton ions up to high damaging doses (200 dpa). It is shown that the amount of voids formed in stainless steels exposed to irradiation with high-energy particles can be reduced by producing a high density of direct sinks of point defects in the form of α/γ phase boundaries. Compositions of radiation-resistant alloys, including low-activation ones of the Cr13Mn7W2 type having an austenitic-martensitic lath structure, have been proposed.
