Abstract
Nickel-based alloys are good candidate structural materials for ultra-high temperature gas-cooled reactors due to their excellent mechanical properties under high-temperature conditions. The operating environment in the compact high-temperature gas-cooled reactor proposes more stringent requirements with higher displacement and temperatures higher than 700 °C. The irradiation resistance of nickel-based alloy 617 is evaluated by 120 MeV neon ion irradiation. The neon ion fluence is set with reference to the number of helium atoms generated by the reaction of (n, α) in nickel-based alloy under actual service conditions. With the application of an energy gradient degrader, the irradiation damage area is more uniform with increasing depth. The neon ion irradiation causes no significant surface damage to alloy 617 while the evolution of defects such as inherent dislocation lines is affected, thus leading to the deterioration of mechanical properties. By using the small punch test to analyze the irradiation effects, it is found that the neon ion irradiation results in the tendency of irradiation softening and does not lead to changes in the basic fracture characteristics under different annealing conditions. After annealing at 700 and 800 °C for 2 h, the irradiation embrittlement trend is intensified, with the fracture characteristic values of irradiated samples showing a more obvious decreasing trend.
