Abstract

Precipitation and segregation were investigated in a compositionally modified 316 austenitic stainless steel, neutron-irradiated at 862 K using a three-dimensional atom probe. In the solution-annealed specimen, Mo, Ti, Nb, C and P enrichment were observed in a silicide, with nominal composition Fe 3Cr2Ni2Mo2Si2. In a Ti-rich carbide, nominaling Fe5Cr8Ni10Mo 2Ti11Si2C6, enrichment of Mo, Si, O, and Nb was observed. Radiation-induced segregation (RIS) at the precipitate-matrix interface was also investigated at an atomic scale. RIS of Ni and P atoms, which are undersized in Fe, was also analyzed around the interface of the Ti-rich carbide and matrix. Results suggest that the carbide-matrix interface is a sink with an interstitial bias. In the cold-worked specimen, complex-precipitates consisting of silicide and carbide were formed.
