Popis: The effect of high-dose neutron irradiation on the structural changes in Fe-16Cr-15Ni-2Mo-1Mn-Ti-Si austenitic steel have been investigated. Samples irradiated at temperatures of 390, 500, and 600° to damage doses of 46, 86, and 46 dpa, respectively, were analyzed by electron microscopy and dilatometry. The quantitative characteristics of radiation voids and secondary-phase precipitates formed under neutron irradiation are obtained. Their behavior upon heating to 700°C and annealing at this temperature for 2 h is studied. It is shown that annealing leads to the dissociation of small voids, which is accompanied by the growth of large ones. The secondary-phase precipitates are partially dissolved upon annealing, and their volume fraction decreases.
