Modelling Irradiation Effects in Metallic Materials Using the Crystal Plasticity Theory—A Review
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- Zirconium alloys having hexagonal close-packed (HCP) lattices. They are used for fuel cladding and thus are subjected to the highest radiation. On the other hand, they have to survive only during the time between subsequent fuel replacements (typically around 6 years).
- Austenitic stainless steels (ASS) having face-centred cubic (FCC) lattices. They are used for reactor vessel internals, which fulfil many functions such as supporting the core, control rod assemblies, core support structure, and reactor pressure vessel (RPV) surveilance capsules [3]. As they are inside the RPV, they are subjected to considerable neutron fluxes,
- Ferritic steels of body centred cubic (BCC) lattice, such as e.g., US A508C1 or A533B, French 16MnD5, Russian 15Cr2MoVA, and Chinese A508-3 steels, are used to build reactor pressure vessels. As the vessel is typically very large and has very thick walls, it is in principle the only part that cannot be replaced. Thus, its lifetime determines the service lifetime of the whole NPP.
- Longer operation times;
- Higher radiation doses;
- Higher operating temperatures (especially in the case of VHTR);
- More chemically aggressive environments.
