| Abstract Scope |
FeCrAl alloy is one of the near-term cladding materials in accident tolerant fuel systems. The improved high-temperature steam oxidation resistance of FeCrAl alloy compared with Zr alloy leads to a longer responding time and less hydrogen generation under accident conditions. With growing interest in FeCrAl alloy for nuclear applications, the mechanical behavior of FeCrAl alloy at high temperatures and irradiation states is of great importance. In this study, we used in situ SEM micropillar compression technique to investigate the mechanical behavior of both annealed and irradiated FeCrAl alloy at various temperatures, ranging from 200 – 500 °C. The temperature-dependent deformation behavior is quantified and discussed. |
