anomalous solution softening by unique energy balance mediated by kink mechanism in tungsten Rhenium Alloys
Journal of Applied Physics, 2020Co-Authors: Tomohito Tsuru, Masato Wakeda, Tomoaki Suzudo, Mitsuhiro Itakura, Shigenobu OgataAbstract:Nucleation of transmutation products such as Rhenium (Re) and osmium (Os) is a central issue contributing to changes in mechanical properties under neutron irradiation in fusion reactors. In particular, Re solutes in tungsten (W) not only affect hardening via radiation-induced precipitation but also have a notable softening effect. We explored the softening/strengthening behaviors of various solutes in a W matrix by density functional theory (DFT) calculations combined with a solid solution model. Our DFT calculations of the solutes show a clear trend in the interaction energy between different solutes and screw dislocations, which also influences the solid solution behavior. These predictions, based on a solid solution model and DFT calculations, reasonably reproduce the complex softening/strengthening behavior as a function of temperature and solute concentration. Notably, solutes such as Re have relatively weak attractive interactions and do not markedly influence the pinning effect; however, such solutes can reduce the energy barrier for kink pair nucleation. We conclude that this specific balance is the origin of macroscopic solid solution softening in dilute body-centered cubic Alloys.Nucleation of transmutation products such as Rhenium (Re) and osmium (Os) is a central issue contributing to changes in mechanical properties under neutron irradiation in fusion reactors.

fracture toughness of polycrystalline tungsten Alloys
International Journal of Refractory Metals & Hard Materials, 2010Co-Authors: Bernd Gludovatz, Stefan Wurster, A. Hoffmann, Reinhard PippanAbstract:Abstract Tungsten and tungsten Alloys show the typical change in fracture behavior from brittle at low temperatures to ductile at high temperatures. In order to improve the understanding of the effect of microstructure the fracture toughness of pure tungsten, potassium doped tungsten, tungsten with 1 wt.% La 2 O 3 and tungsten Rhenium Alloys were investigated by means of 3-point bending, double cantilever beam and compact tension specimens. All these materials show the expected increase in fracture toughness with increasing temperature. The experiments demonstrate that grain size, texture, chemical composition, grain boundary segregation and dislocation density seem to have a large effect on fracture toughness below the DBTT. These influences can be seen in the fracture behavior and morphology, where two kinds of fracture occur: on the one hand transgranular and on the other hand intergranular fracture. Therefore, techniques like electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and X-ray line profile analysis were used to improve the understanding of the parameters influencing fracture toughness.

high temperature fracture experiments on tungsten Rhenium Alloys
International Journal of Refractory Metals & Hard Materials, 2010Co-Authors: Stefan Wurster, Bernd Gludovatz, Reinhard PippanAbstract:Abstract A big problem when using tungsten as plasma facing components in a future fusion reactor is the very low fracture toughness at low temperatures. Tungsten – Rhenium Alloys outclasses other tungsten-based materials in terms of increased ductility. We study the reason for this positive effect by investigating the influence of Rhenium on the fracture process of tungsten – Rhenium Alloys at different temperatures (between room temperature and 900 °C). The experiments are performed in a furnace-equipped tensile testing machine with a vacuum chamber, which allows us to perform fracture experiments at elevated temperature without oxidizing the material. Antecedent and subsequent electron backscattered diffraction scans are used to analyse the extent of plastic deformation and the interaction of plastic deformation and the fracture process. Furthermore, the consequences of recrystallization on the fracture process of tungsten – Rhenium Alloys will be analysed.
