The average size and density evolution of dislocation loops in AL-6XN austenitic stainless steel, a candidate fuel cladding material for supercritical water-cooled reactor, under proton irradiation were simulated through a rate theory model. The simulation results exhibit relatively good agreement with the experimental results at 563 K. The size and density of defect clusters are calculated under irradiation temperature between 550 K and 900 K and irradiation doses up to 15 dpa which satisfies the working condition in supercritical water-cooled reactor. The fast nucleation between self-interstitials happens at the initial stage of irradiation. The average size of dislocation loops increases while the average density of these loops reduces with the increasing temperature, and the average density approaches to a constant when irradiated at higher irradiation doses. The mechanism is discussed based on the variation of rate constants of defect reactions and the variation of the diffusion coefficients of interstitials and dislocation loops with dose and temperature. |
