  • 基于WBM相场模型对热力学条件和辐照条件下Fe-Cr合金晶界处Cr元素偏析行为进行了模拟. 模拟结果表明温度对Fe-Cr合金晶界处Cr元素的偏析有很大影响: 当温度低于500 ℃时, 晶界处的偏析量很小; 而当温度高于500 ℃时晶界处的偏析量增加明显. 基体中Cr元素含量对晶界Cr元素的相对偏析量也有显著影响: 随着基体中Cr元素含量的增加, 相同模拟条件下晶界处Cr元素的相对浓度增量降低. 辐照条件下, 晶界处Cr元素的相对偏析量比热力学条件下的相对偏析量有明显增加; 随着辐照剂量率的提高, 晶界中心处Cr元素浓度增量变大; 相同辐照条件下, 随着Cr元素含量的增加, 晶界处Cr元素的相对浓度增量也降低.

     

    Ferritic/martensitic steel, with Cr atomic content in a range of 7%–15%, is a promising candidate for advanced nuclear power systems, due to its swelling resistance and creep fracture resistance under irradiation. Under thermodynamic conditions, Cr segregation usually occurs at grain boundary (GB) in Fe-Cr alloys. However, irradiation can greatly accelerate this process. The enrichment of Cr at GB will enhance precipitation, resulting in embrittlement; while the depletion of Cr at GB may greatly weaken the corrosion resistance properties. In the present work, thermodynamic segregation and radiation-enhanced segregation of Cr element at GB in Fe-Cr alloy is investigated by using the Wheeler-Boettinger-McFadden (WBM) phase-field model. The simulation results show that temperature has a great influence during thermodynamic segregation of Cr at the GB without radiation: when the temperature is lower than 500 ℃ the segregation amount of Cr at the GB is relatively small; when the temperature is higher than 500 ℃ the Cr concentration at GB increases significantly. In addition, as the concentration of Cr in the matrix increases, the amount of relative increase of Cr concentration at GB decreases. However, the Cr concentration at GB under irradiation is significantly enhanced, compared with the counterpart without irradiation. With the increase of dose rate, the Cr concentration in the center of GB also increases. Moreover, with the increase of Cr concentration in the matrix, the relative increase of the Cr concentration at the GB weakens.
