This paper presents the testing campaign of the two First Wall mock-ups in the HELOKA facility, one mock-up having a 3 mm thick Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steel layer on its surface and the other featuring a tungsten functionally graded cover. Special consideration is given to the diagnostics used for these tests, in particular, the measurement of the surface temperature of the tungsten functionally graded layer with an infrared camera. Additionally, the paper looks into the uncertainty associated with the calorimetric evaluation of the applied heating power for these experiments.

The Matrix

Microstructure and phase distribution of innovative Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steel based on Fe-Cr-ZrO2 particularly for application at high temperature reactor with variation of Cr content was analysed. The alloy was synthesized with Cr composition variation of  15, 20 and 25 wt.% Cr, while zirconia dispersoid kept constant at 0.50 wt.%. The samples was synthesized by mechanical alloying comprising of high energy milling for 3 hours followed by vibrated compression with iso-static load at 20 ton. The final consolidation was performed via sintering process for 4 minutes using the Arc Plasma Sintering (APS) technique, a new method developed in BATAN especially for synthesizing high temperature materials. The samples were then characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersed X-ray (EDX) analysis capability and X-ray diffraction. The mechanical property of hardness was measured using standard Vickers micro hardness tester to confirmed the microstructure analysis.  The results show that the microstructure of the ODS alloy samples in all variation of Cr content consists generally of cubic Fe-Cr matrix phase with small of porosity and  Zirconia particles distributed homogenously in and around the matrix grains. The achievable hardness was between 142 and 184 HVN dependent consistently on Cr content in which Cr element may cause grain refining that in turn increase the hardness.

The Stability

Three model powders defined as MP powders (milled pre-alloyed powders), mixed powders (MX, 50 wt.% MP powders + 50 wt.% Oxide-Dispersion Strengthened powders) and Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) powders (alloyed pre-alloyed powders with the addition of Ti and Y2O3) are obtained under identical ball milling parameters. These powders are then consolidated under same sintering condition by spark plasma sintering (SPS) in order to investigate the formation mechanism of martensite lath in the MP steel and the effect of Ti on the stability of ferrite. The results indicate that the addition of Y2O3 and Ti powders can act as friction material during the mechanical alloying process, thus promoting the refinement effect. The formation of martensite lath in the MP steel is attributed to the local Cr depletion resulted from the large amounts of M23C6 precipitation. Ti possesses a strong affinity to C and long range diffusion ability, which efficiently prevents the martensite lath formation and local Cr depletion. Present study supports the conclusion that the lack of martensite in the MX and ODS steel is due to the addition of Ti. Secondary phases in these steels are identified and analyzed as well.

ABSTRACTAn oxide dispersion strengthened steel is produced which contains Y-Al-Ti-O nanoparticles with an average diameter of 21 nm. HRTEM analysis shows that the chemical composition of the Y2O3 oxide is modified with perovskite YAlO3 (YAP), Y2Al5O12 garnet (YAG) and Y4Al2O9 monoclinic (YAM) particles. Irradiation of these alloys was performed with a dual ion beam system operating simultaneously with 2.5 MeV Fe+ to 31 dpa and 350 keV He+ to 18 appm/dpa. Ion bombardment causes atomic displacements resulting in vacancy and self-interstitial lattice defects and dislocation loops. TRIM calculations for ODS steel indicate a clear spacial separation between vacancies and self-interstitials at which the vacancy distribution is close to the surface and the interstitials are deposited at a deeper position. The helium atoms mainly accumulate in the vacancies. Fine He cavities with diameters of a few nanometers were identified in HRTEM images. Additionally to structural changes, irradiation generated defects also affect the mechanical properties of the ODS steel. These were investigated by nanoindentation, which is a suitable measuring method as the irradiation damage is created within a thin surface layer. A clear hardness increase in the irradiated depth region was observed, which reaches a maximum close to the surface. This indicates the He condensation in the vacancy dominated region predicted by the simulations.

The main aim of this article deals with the wear behavior of mechanically alloyed 17-Cr oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) Ferritic steel consolidated through Vacuum Hot Pressing (VHP) at temperature level of 1170 °C under pressure level of 60 MPa with 60 minutes as holding time and with rate of cooling of 50 ˚C /min and a vacuum level of 10-3 torr. The persuade of wear process parameters were investigated based on the load applied, sliding velocity and sliding distance at a temperature of 350°C on dry sliding track of 17-Cr Ferritic oxide dispersion strengthened steel (Fe-17Cr-0.35Y2O3 -1.5ZrO2 -4Al (%wt). Wear test was conducted in a dry atmosphere using a pinon-disc wear testing machine. Wear behavior of 17-Cr Ferritic ODS steel was analyzed by using Taguchi approach. To examine the process parameter during high temperature wear rate analysis of variance and signal to noise ratios were used. During the wear analysis sliding distance was found to be influential parameters of wear rate for 17-Cr Ferritic oxide dispersion strengthened steel succeeded by functional load and sliding velocity. The regression model was found to calculate the rate of wear for 17-Cr Ferritic oxide dispersion strengthened steel.

In international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER), reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steels will be used for plasma-facing materials. However, it is necessary to raise the temperature of operation in order to elevate efficiency of electric power generation by using the material which is more excellent in strength at elevated temperature. Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are promising candidate for high temperature materials of a nuclear fusion reactor. There are many reports that ODS steels show very high creep strength, but there are few reports on creep deformation mechanism. In this work, creep deformation behavior of 8 wt% Cr ODS steel was investigated. This ODS steel had high density of fine dispersed Y2Ti2O7 particles and -ferrite grains elongated along the hot-rolling direction. The creep curve showed a low creep strain rate until specimen ruptured. Vickers hardness of the gauge part of specimens in interrupted creep tests decreased with increasing the loading time. However, that of the grip part did not change significantly. Accordingly, although dynamic recovery occurred in the ODS steel, it had not affected the creep deformation rate.
