| Abstract Scope |
FeCrAl alloys are a class of high-chromium ferritic alloys that are being studied for use in nuclear power applications. FeCrAl alloys possess many favorable properties including environmental degradation resistance (e.g. corrosion/oxidation) which lend them towards cladding and core internal applications. These applications require the FeCrAl alloys to also possess radiation tolerance. Over the past half-decade, a systematic study on the radiation tolerance of FeCrAl alloys has been completed. These experiments include simple, separate effects tests determining trends in irradiation dose, irradiation temperature, starting composition, etc. on both the microstructure evolution and mechanical responses. More recently, a series of tests have also been initiated looking at correlated phenomena such as irradiation creep, fuel-cladding interaction, and irradiation-assisted corrosion testing. This talk will summarize the critical findings from both the separate and integral radiation effects testing and provide an assessment on the current state of knowledge on the radiation tolerance of FeCrAl alloys. |
