Popis: Oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steels, which contain nano-scale Y-Ti-O particles, are being considered for high-temperature radiation environments of nuclear reactors. It is important to accurately characterize the structure of grain boundaries and understand the behavior of segregation at grain boundaries in ODS steels during irradiation. The effect of heavy ion irradiation at 700 °C on Nanostructured Ferritic Alloy 14YWT was investigated using Atom Probe Tomography. Enrichment of Cr occurs at the grain boundaries as well as at nano oxide particle surfaces in the unirradiated sample. The enrichment of Ti and Y at a grain boundary corresponds with Y-Ti-O nano oxide particles with larger size compared to those in the grain, and the Cr enrichment is particularly accentuated at these larger nano oxide particles. The segregation of W occurs at the grain boundaries that are without nano oxide particles. O is segregated at grain boundaries without oxide particles after irradiation. The segregation behavior of Cr, W, Ti, and Y at the grain boundary in the irradiated samples is similar to that in the unirradiated sample. The nano oxide particles embedded in the grain boundary are a primary reason for the increase in Cr segregation at the grain boundary.
