Data on Cu- and Ni-Si-Mn-rich solute clustering in a neutron irradiated austenitic stainless steel.

ABSTRACT: The data presented in this article is supplementary to the research article "Phase instabilities in austenitic steels during particle bombardment at high and low dose rates" (Levine et al.) [5]. Needle-shaped samples were prepared with focused ion beam milling from a 304L stainless steel that was irradiated with fast neutrons (E > 0.1 MeV) in the BOR-60 reactor at 318 °C to 47.5 dpa. Atom probe tomography (APT) experiments in voltage mode were then conducted on a Cameca LEAP 5000X HR. Atom position, range, and mass spectrum files after reconstruction with Cameca's IVAS software are included. Cu- and Ni-Si-Mn-rich solute nanoclusters were identified and analyzed using the Open Source Characterization of APT Reconstructions (OSCAR) program. Python code for OSCAR [4], information on the program's underlying algorithm, and sample output files are provided. A proximity histogram of a Ni-Si-Mn-rich cluster and a 1D density/solute concentration profile of a Cu-rich cluster are given to demonstrate OSCAR's analytical functionalities. The provided APT dataset is valuable for benchmarking phase instabilities in neutron-irradiated austenitic stainless steels that occur at high doses. The OSCAR program can be reused to process other APT data sets where solute nanoclustering is of interest.

Project description:We describe here the relationship between grain structure, deformation mechanism and fracture characteristics in an austenitic stainless steel. This was accomplished using the novel concept of phase reversion that enabled a wide range of grain size from nanograined/ultrafine grained (NG/UFG) to coarse-grained (CG) regime to be obtained in a single material through change in temperature-time annealing sequence. In the NG/UFG structure, a marked increase in abundance of stacking faults (SFs) and twin density with strain was observed that led to a decrease in the average spacing between adjacent SFs, thus converting stacking faults into twins. Twinning in NG/UFG structure involved partial dislocations and their interaction with the grain boundaries, including SF overlapping and the coordinated nucleation of partial dislocations from the grain boundaries. The plastic zone in the NG/UFG structure resembled a network knitted by the intersecting twins and SFs. With SFE ~30 mJ/m2, the minimum stress for twin nucleation was ~250?MPa for the experiment steel and the corresponding optimal grain size (dop) wa ~120?nm. In contrast, in the CG structure, strain induced martensite formation was the deformation mechanism. The difference in the deformation mechanism led to a clear distinction in the fracture behavior from striated fracture in high strength-high ductility NG/UFG alloy to microvoid coalescence in the low strength-high ductility CG counterpart. The underlying reason for the change in fracture behavior was consistent with change in deformation mechanism from nanoscale twinning in NG/UFG alloy to strain-induced martensite in the CG alloy, which is related to change in the stability of austenite with grain size. An analysis of critical shear stress required to initiate twinning partial dislocations in comparison to that required to nucleate shear bands is presented. The appearance of striated fracture in the NG/UFG alloy suggests a quasi-static step wise crack growth process.
