Abstract
En 中文
The precipitation behavior and tensile properties of Fe-13Cr-6Al-2Mo-xNb (x = 0.15, 0.5, 1.0) alloys for fuel cladding materials were investigated during aging at 475 degrees C up to 8000 h. During the aging process, the precipitation of the metastable (Nb, Mo)-Al-rich phase was promoted with Nb content. Meanwhile, the dominant precipitation of the mu-phase on the grain boundaries transited to the Laves phase with Nb content. With aging, the yield strength of the alloys increased firstly and then kept almost unchanged while the elongation decreased, owing to the precipitation and growth of different second phases. The grain boundary mu-phase and secondary Laves phase led to the transformation from ductile to brittle fracture. After long-term aging at 475 degrees C, the 0.5Nb alloy possessed the best combination of yield strength and elongation, making it more suitable for application as fuel cladding materials in light-water reactors.
