| Abstract: | China Low Activation Martensitic (CLAM) steel was irradiated at room temperature with different doses of He+ and H+ ion beams. TEM indicated that the microstructure of unirradiated CLAM steel consisted of laths, grain boundaries, dislocations and carbides. Electron diffraction patterns revealed that the microstructure of carbides at grain boundaries was primarily dominated by M23C6 carbide. Vacancy clusters were induced into the matrix after irradiation. TEM-EDX of carbides and matrices of unirradiated and post-irradiated samples were performed to investigate the composition of carbides and the effect of irradiation on the composition of carbides. Carbides from unirradiated and irradiated specimens at grain boundaries were found to be enriched with Cr. For irradiated specimens, concentrations of Cr increased as the irradiation dose was increased. Cr enrichment could lead to precipitation of additional phase. |
