Abstract：Effects of deformed dislocation on helium retention in pure iron, including the helium atoms diffusion along the dislocation line and desorption from dislocation trapping sites, were investigated. The dislocation defect was introduced in specimens by cold-rolling, and then 5 keV helium ions were implanted into the deformed specimens. Slow positron beam technology and thermal desorption spectroscopy were used to investigate the evolution of dislocation defects and the desorption behavior of helium atoms under influence of dislocation. The behaviors of S-E, W-E and S-W plots indicate clearly that lots of helium atoms remain in the deformed specimen and helium atoms combining with dislocation change the distribution of electron density. The helium desorption plot indicates that dislocation accelerates helium desorption at 293 K-600 K and facilitates helium dissociation from HenVm (n/m=1.8) cluster.

Abstract：Abstract. The microstructural features and the effect of Mo addition in FeCrNi austenitic alloy during incubation period were investigated using positron annihilation technique and micro-Vickers Hardness. The electron irradiation, which could induce vacancy defects in material, was performed at room temperature up to the dose of 1.70-4 and 50-4 dpa, respectively. The defect concentration was estimated about 10-4-10-7 though the standard trapping model. The added Mo atoms could trap vacancies to form Mo-vacancy complexes, which may restrain the migration and growth of vacancy defects during electron irradiation. In addition, the microstructural evolution during electron radiation resulted in hardening, while the added Mo might improve the hardening property of the alloy.

Abstract：In order to study the fundamental processes of helium retention and thermal desorption from the structural material of future fusion reactors, thermal desorption measurements were performed to investigate helium trapping from defects in binary Fe9Cr model alloys irradiated by 3 keV and 0.2 keV He ions. Interstitial type dislocation loops, vacancies and vacancy clusters were produced by irradiation with 3 keV helium ions, which acted as the sink trapped the helium atoms. Helium thermal desorption peaks from dislocations, helium-vacancies were obtained by thermal desorption spectroscopy at ~ 540 篊, in the range from 205 篊 to 478 篊, respectively. Simple first order dissociation kinetics are used to estimate the activation energies associated with the desorption groups. A sharp desorption peak was observed at ~ 865 篊 due to the BCC-FCC phase transformation for specimens under all examined implantation conditions.

Abstract：The effect of isochronal annealing on vacancy-type defects in quenched FeCrNi alloys and SUS316 has been investigated by positron annihilation techniques. Vacancy-type defects gather and grow with the annealing temperature increasing to 523 K, and the vacancy-type defects annihilated gradually in FeCrNi alloys at the annealing temperature increasing. The results indicate that the addition of Mo and nonmetal elements is not the key reasons that determined the annihilated temperature of vacancy-type defects. It’s worth noting that the vacancy-type defects annihilated and dislocation-type defects formed in all sample alloys after 673 K annealing treatment. In addition, the density of defects in Mo diluted FeCrNi model alloy is lower than that in FeCrNi model alloy due to the Mo-vacancy complexes formed in Mo diluted FeCrNi model alloy. The long lifetime of vacancy-type defects in commercial stainless steel SUS316 is smaller than that in FeCrNi model alloys because the mobility of vacancy-type defects changed by nonmetal elements. In addition, vacancy-type and dislocation defects detected contribute to the S and W parameters of positron annihilation in the whole annealing treatment.
