  1. Characterisation of Microstructure in model ODS Alloys Arup Dasgupta Physical Metallurgy DivisionIndira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research Kalpakkam – 603102, INDIA A collaborative work between IGCAR, Kalpakkam and International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials, Hyderabad

  2. SCHEME • The Issue • What kind of alloy is under development • Processing Scheme • Importance of microstructure and microchemistry investigations in alloy development • This Talk • Types of samples studies so far • Results and Discussion • Summary

  3. The Alloy under development • 9Cr-0.12C-2W-0.2Ti-0.35Y2O3 Ferritic/Martensitic steel chosen • because of advantages over austenitic stainless steels: • Higher thermal conductivity • Lower thermal expansion • Lower void swelling during irradiation • Excellent high temperature creep resistance • W  Mo replacement for solid solution strengthening; reduced activation • Ti  Helps to get finer dispersoids • Mandate: Clad Tubes (6.6mm OD, 0.45mm thick, 2.65 m long)

  26. Summary • Seven sets of model materials studied (powders, milled, compacted products) • Higher Milling Duration  Agglomeration • The sintered products were porous, 14-20% but forged material had a porosity ~1%. Extruded material had porosity ~0.3% only! • Yttria  bcc with a=10.6 Å • Forged sample  fine bcc yttria particles with an av. size ~ 10-20 nm; some were ~ 5-7 nm and some were agglomerated; there appeared to be an orientation between the Yttria and the rextallised ferrite grains • Prealloyed powder & yttria powder  desired sizes + quite pure • The extruded ODS steel  desired composition, fine martensite laths (~100 nm wide) within the elongated grains, very fine (~ 3nm) yttria.
