Chromium agglomeration induced by Fe+ ion irradiation of Fe-10at%Cr
Fe-Cr alloys serve as model alloys for the investigation of radiation induced effects in ferritic-martensitic steels which are candidate structural materials for future fusion reactors. In this work the effect of Cr segregation and/or agglomeration in 490 keV Fe+ ion irradiated Fe-10at%Cr alloys in the form of thin films is investigated. The irradiations took place at 300 °C at doses ranging from 0.5 to 20 displacements per atom (dpa). Polarized Neutron Reflectivity (PNR) measurements were used for the determination of the solute Cr concentration in the Fe-Cr matrix. Cr depletion from the Fe-Cr matrix up to 2.4 at% was found. This is related to solute Cr decrement as the accumulated dose increases. After the damage of 4 dpa, solute Cr reaches the asymptotic value of 8.4 at%, close to that of the thermodynamic equilibrium in Fe-Cr. Atom Probe Tomography (APT) measurements showed that after irradiation Cr accumulates into clusters the majority of which is co-located with oxygen.
