Abstract

The role of oxide nanoparticles in cavity formation of a nano-oxide-dispersed ferritic steel subjected to (Fe + He) dual-ion and (Fe + He + H) triple-ion irradiations has been studied using transmission electron microscopy to elucidate the synergistic effects of helium and hydrogen on radiation tolerance of nano-oxide-dispersed ferritic steel for fusion energy systems. The effect of oxide nanoparticles on suppressing radiation-induced void swelling is clearly revealed from the observation of preferred trapping of helium bubbles at oxide nanoparticles, which results in a unimodal distribution of cavities in the (Fe + He) dual-ion irradiated specimen. An adverse effect of hydrogen implantation, however, is revealed from the observation of a bimodal distribution of cavities with large and facetted voids in association with the formation of HFe5O8-based hydroxide in local regions of the (Fe + He + H) triple-ion irradiated specimen.
