| Abstract Scope |
Nanostructured ferritic alloys (NFAs) having ultra-fine grain structure and high concentration of nano-size (~2-5 nm) oxide particles are considered as one of the best candidates for structural components in advanced nuclear reactors due to their excellent irradiation resistance, high strength and resistance to oxidation/corrosion under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. However, they are produced by lengthy and costly multi-step powder metallurgical (PM) methods. Here, we have developed 14WYT NFAs produced by shear-based extrusion methods and shear extrusion followed by cold spraying of gas atomized powders without ball milling. The microstructural analyses have indicated ~10^22 m^-3 nano-oxide density which is comparable with the PM-produced alloys. Comparative irradiation studies have been conducted on PM-produced and directly extruded alloys at 300 and 450 °C up to 10 dpa. |
