Kinetics, mechanism and modeling of the microstructural evolution of a 15Cr-15Ni- 2.2Mo-0.3Ti modified austenitic stainless steel (alloy D9) during dynamic recrystallization (DRX) have been investigated. The kinetics of DRX has been investigated employing a modified Johnson- Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) model. The microstructural study shows that nucleation of new grains during DRX takes place on the parent grain boundary by a bulging mechanism. No significant texture component has been found to develop in the recrystallized matrix. A substantial amount of twins have been observed in the recrystallized matrix. It is proposed that twins play an important role during the nucleation and subsequent expansion of DRX in alloy D9, which in turn moderates the texture in the recrystallized matrix. An artificial neural network model has also been developed to predict the fraction of DRX and grain size, as a function of processing conditions. A good correlation between experimental findings and predicted results has been obtained.

The effects of helium concentration and displacement damage on microstructural evolution at low dpa and low helium concentration were mainly investigated in specimens of austenitic stainless steel 316FR or SUS304 and a high chromium martensitic steel (HCM12A). The 316FR and HCM12A specimens were implanted uniformly with helium at 823 K up to 30 appm-He or 50 appm-He by 50 MeV cyclotron accelerator using energy degraders. After the helium implantation, the microstructures were examined by a transmission electron microscopy and positron annihilation lifetime measurements. Irradiation hardening behaviors were analyzed using SUS304 and HCM12A steels at 823 K implanted with He ion up to 100 appm with different He/dpa ratios in the HIT ion irradiation experiments and the hardening behaviors were examined by nano indentation method. In the irradiation and annealing specimens, these mechanical properties and microstructures were examined to understand the effects of helium production, displacement damage and annealing on microstructural development, and kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulations were also performed to understand the microstructural development, and the results were compared with the results of TEM observation and positron annihilation lifetime measurements. Important some differences in the microstructural developments such as cavity formation and growth between austenitic stainless steel and martensitic steel were observed in low dpa and low helium concentration conditions.
