The concept of ’grain boundary design and control’ has been developed as grain boundary engineering (GBE). GBEed materials are characterized by high frequencies of CSL boundaries which are resistant to intergranular deterioration of materials, such as intergranular corrosion. A thermomechanical treatment was tried to improve the resistance to the sensitization by GBE. A type 304 austenitic stainless steel was cold-rolled and solution-heat-treated, and then sensitization-heat-treated. The grain boundary character distribution was examined by orientation imaging microscopy (OIM). The intergranular corrosion resistance was evaluated by electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (EPR) and ferric sulfate-sulfuric acid tests. The sensitivity to intergranular corrosion was reduced by the thermomechanical treatment and indicated a minimum at a small roll-reduction. The frequency of CSL boundaries indicated a maximum at the small reduction. The ferric sulfate-sulfuric acid test showed much smaller corrosion rate in the thermomechanical-treated specimen than in the base material. A high density of annealing twins were observed in the thermomechanical-treated specimen. The results suggest that the therrmomechanical treatment can introduce low energy segments in the grain boundary network by annealing twins and can arrest the percolation of intergranular corrosion from the surface. The effects of carbon content and other minor elements on optimization in grain boundary character distribution (GBCD) and thermomechanical parameters were also examined during GBE.展开更多

文摘针对钠冷快中子增殖反应堆(简称快堆)燃料元件包壳材料316以及15-15Ti奥氏体不锈钢,讨论了通过晶界工程(grain boundary engineering,GBE)技术进一步提高材料抗辐照肿胀以及抗蠕变性能的可行性.通过GBE技术能够大幅增加材料中与孪晶相关的低Σ重合位置点阵(coincidence site lattice,CSL)晶界比例.快堆燃料元件包壳在固溶退火处理后还要经过20%左右的冷加工变形,目的是在显微组织中引入大量位错,吸收由辐照产生的点缺陷,并增加吸收裂变产物的陷阱.如果在这样的冷加工变形前大幅提高材料的低ΣCSL晶界比例,使冷加工变形时的位错滑移在具有特殊取向关系的晶粒间的传播以及位错在特殊结构晶界处的堆积排列发生变化,那么就有可能使冷加工后位错的分布状态有利于吸收更多的由辐照产生的点缺陷,提高材料抗辐照肿胀的能力.
