HVEM irradiation damage in heat affected zone of welded SUS304 steel

The heat affected zone (HAZ) of a welded SUS304 steel has been irradiated in an 1250 kV high voltage electron microscope at 673 K and up to 5.4 dpa (displacements per atom) to study the effect of electron irradiation on microstructure. The dislocation loop density of initial irradiation state increa...

Description
Summary:The heat affected zone (HAZ) of a welded SUS304 steel has been irradiated in an 1250 kV high voltage electron microscope at 673 K and up to 5.4 dpa (displacements per atom) to study the effect of electron irradiation on microstructure. The dislocation loop density of initial irradiation state increased with electron irradiation dose. Void size, void number density and void swelling increased and then saturated gradually with irradiation dose. The depletion of Cr and the enrichment of Ni at the grain boundary were also recognized by EDS analysis in the HAZ of welded SUS304 steel.
