Ségrégation intergranulaire du phosphore dans les aciers des cuves des REP / Intergranular segregation of phosphorus in Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) steels of Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs)

Zhang, Leifeng 14 December 2018 (has links)
En perspective de la prolongation de la durée de vie en service des REPs, il est de plus en plus important d’obtenir une évaluation fiable de l’évolution de la microstructure des aciers constituant la cuve des REPs et de leurs propriétés correspondantes. Un mécanisme de fragilisation non-durcissante, dû à la ségrégation intergranulaire du P qui affaiblirait la cohésion des joints de grains, pourrait contribuer à la fragilisation et doit donc être étudié. Les présents travaux ont pour objectifs d’étudier la ségrégation intergranulaire du P dans un acier de cuve de réacteur afin (i) de connaître l’influence du type de joint de grain sur la ségrégation du P, (ii) de clarifier l’influence des conditions de vieillissement (vieillissement thermique et irradiation ionique) sur la ségrégation du P et (iii) de faire une comparaison avec les modèles disponibles et proposés ici.Pour cela, une méthodologie corrélative -Diffraction des Électrons Rétrodiffusés (EBSD), Diffraction de Kikuchi en Transmission (TKD) et Sonde Atomique Tomographique (APT) -a été adoptée pour étudier la ségrégation intergranulaire. Les informations cristallographiques (5 paramètres) et la composition chimique ont été collectées et systématiquement corrélées. Les aciers ont une microstructure complexe de ferrite aciculaire et de carbures intergranulaires. La ségrégation des solutés aux joints des grains (joints des grains faiblement désorientés (LAGB), joints des grains fortement désorientés généraux (HAGB) et Σ3HAGBs) et aux interfaces (interfaces carbure-ferrite M2.0-3.2C et interfaces cémentite-ferrite) a été quantifiée. Il existe une ségrégation évidente d'un élément ou de plusieurs espèces chimiques (C, P, Mn, Mo, Cr, Si et Ni) pour tous ces types de défauts plans. Tenant compte de la nature des éléments ségrégants et de la cristallographie du joint de grain, les ségrégations interstitielles et substitutionnelles ont été quantifiées et discutées. Sur la base d’un grand nombre de données, il apparaît que les niveaux moyens des segrégations en P sont plus élevés dans les HAGBs généraux ou les LAGBs que les autres types d'interfaces quel que soit le vieillissement envisagé. Par ailleurs, les résultats expérimentaux ont été comparés avec les résultats prévus par des modèles analytiques pour des systèmes binaires, ternaires et multi-composants. Bien qu'ayant un niveau de ségrégation du P prédit plus élevé, le modèle ternaire Fe-P-C se rapproche le plus des résultats expérimentaux. / With expectations for extending the service lifespans of PWRs, it is of great importance to get a reliable evaluation of the microstructural evolution and the corresponding property changes of RPV steels. A non-hardening mechanism, due to intergranular P segregation that impairs the grain boundary (GB) cohesion, may contribute to the embrittlement and thus needs to be studied. The present work aims to investigate the intergranular P segregation behavior in a RPV steel in order to (i) determine the influence of GB type on P segregation behavior, (ii) clarify the influence of ageing conditions (thermal ageing and ion irradiation) on P segregation behavior and (iii) make a comparison with the existing analytical models. To reach these objectives, a correlative - Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD), Transmission Kikuchi Diffraction (TKD) and Atom Probe Tomography (APT) - methodology was adopted to study the GB segregation behavior. The crystallographic information (5 parameters) and chemical composition were collected simultaneously. The steels have a complex microstructure of acicular ferrite and intergranular carbides. The solute segregation at GBs (Low Angle Grain Boundaries (LAGBs), general High Angle Grain Boundaries (HAGBs) and Σ3 HAGBs) and interfaces (M2.0-3.2C carbide-ferrite interfaces and cementite-ferrite interfaces) were quantified. There is an obvious segregation of one element or several chemical species (C, P, Mn, Mo, Cr, Si and Ni) at all boundary types. Taking into account the nature of segregants and the five-parameter GB crystallography, both interstitial and substitutional segregation behaviors were discussed. Based on a large dataset, it appears that the average P segregation levels are higher in general HAGBs or LAGBs than in other boundary types. Besides, the experimental results were compared to the predicted ones from analytical models for binary, ternary and multicomponent systems. Though with a higher predicted P segregation level, the Fe-P-C ternary model seems to better fit the experimental results in all ageing conditions.

Microstructural and Micro-Mechanical Characterization of As-built and Heat-treated samples of HASTELLOY X produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion Process

Sanni, Onimisi January 2022 (has links)
Microstructure and micro-mechanical characterization of as-built and heat-treated samples of Hastelloy X produced by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process has been carried out in this study. As-built LPBF blocks were solution heat-treated at 1177°C and 1220°C followed by fast cooling. The microstructure of as-built and heat-treated samples were studied by light optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction. Instrumented indentation micro Vickers testing was performed to obtain microhardness and elastic modulus of asbuilt and heat-treated samples. Microtensile samples from as-built and heat-treated blocks were prepared and polished for mechanical characterization. Microtensile testing inside the scanning electron microscope was performed to evaluate the mechanical properties and to get information about the microstructural changes during plastic deformation. Microstructure characterization revealed disrupted epitaxial grain growth for the as-built samples whereas the two heated-treated Hastelloy X samples exhibited equiaxed grains with varying twin fractions. As-built Hastelloy X samples exhibited higher mean hardness than heat-treated samples. The yield strength of as-built samples reveals higher values as compared to conventional wrought Hastelloy X samples, whereas lower yield strength and higher elongation were observed for heat-treated samples as compared to as-built samples. Higher elongation and lower yield strength values were observed for the samples solution heat-treated at 1220°C compared to the solution heat-treated at 1177°C. Microstructural evaluation at different plastic strains during in-situ microtensile testing reveals a clear difference in dislocation density for as-built and heat-treated samples.
