Description
1~L33363 1 47,1071 METHOD FOR HEAT TREATING IRON-NICKEL-CHROMIUM ALLOY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is particularly adapted ~or use with a nickel-chromium-iron alloy such as that described in U.S. Patent No. 4,236,943 issued on Decem-5 ber 2, 1980, which has strong mechanical properties and,at the same time, has swelling resistance under the in-fluence of irradiation and low neutron absorbence~ As such, it is particularly adapted ~or use as a duct~ng and cladding alloy ~or fast breeder reactors~
A material of this type is a gamma-prime strengthened superalloy; and its properties can be altered drastically by varying the thermomechanical treatment to which it is sub~ected. For nuclear reactor applications it is, of course, desirable to subject the alloy to a thermomechanical treatment which will produce the greatest irradiation-induced swelling resistance and/or the highest strength and most importantly the highest post irradiation ductility.

'Ihe foregoing alloy is a gamma-prime strength-ene(l superalloy. Its properties can be altered drasti-c~lly b~ varying its thermomechanical treatment prior to testing. The following Table II sets forth the various 'j thermomechanical treatments to which the alloy set forth in Table I was subjected; while Table III lists the re-sultin~ microstructural and mechanical properties of the alloy after heat treatment:

treatment produces higher stress rupture properties than treatment IN-l. The EC treatment results in a trimodal distribution of gamma-prime since the recrystallization 1.~33363 ~ 4 47,107I
anneal is below the gamma-prime solvus and results in the prccipitation of a small volume of large (approximately 600 nm) gamma-prime precipitates.
Of the treatments set forth in Tables II and III, three treatments produced dislocated structures.
These are treatments AR, IN-2 and EE. The stress rupture data of Table II reveals that heat treatment EE produces a significantly stronger material. This structure consists of an interwoven dislocated cell structure which is pinned by a bimodal gamma-prime distribution. This condition has the highest strength of any tested and is very stable because of the pinned nature of the dislocation cells.
The graph shown in the attached figure illus-trates the swelling behavior of the alloy set forth in Table I in three thermomechanical conditions, ST, EC and EE. The swelling versus temperature curves are for radia-tion doses of 30 dpae, which is equivalent to 203x103 ~-(i.e., greater than the goal fluence of 120x103 ~-). The data reveals that the ST and EE treatments produce the lowest swelling in the alloy set forth in Table II above.
The EC treatment produces an acceptable level of swelling at goal fluences but the treatment is far from optimum for in-reactor applications.
In similar tests, an alloy having the following composition was tested:

3~3 6 47,1071 I()"(` al-l(l lO()()QC + 20(`, respectively. Therefore, unlike thc alloy given in 'I'ab]e I, there is no temperature range in which recrystallization can be accomplished while aging. Consistent with this fact, treatments BP and BT
which involve annealing at 1038C and subsequent double-aging, both produce a dislocation-free austenite matrix and a bimodal gamma-prime distribution. Structures pro-duced by treatments CU and BU, which do not induce recrys-tallization, all contain a highly dislocated cell struc-l~ ture containing various distributions of gamma-prime.
Table VI is a summary of the observed structures and corresponding physical properties. Note that the mechanical property values are grouped into two classes.
These are non-dislocation density, gamma-prime containing structures having 650C, ultimate ten~ile strengths be-tween 135 and 137 ksi, and the dislocated gamma-prime structures, which are much stronger, with ultimate tensile strengths between 147 and 157 ksi. Because of their superior strength and because of the benefit of an in-creased incubation time for swelling, dislocated struc-tures are preferred.
Treatment CU set forth in Tables V and VI above, starts with a dislocated cell structure with a trimodal gamma-prime distribution which is subsequently cold-worked 2~j 30%. The final cold-working operation actually decreases the strength as indicated by the 650C ultimate tensile strength data set form in Table VI, apparently by des-troying the integrity of the dislocation cell walls.
Treatments BR and BU of the alloy set forth in Table IV both produce a highly dislocated, partially recrystallized or recovered cell structure with bimodal gamma-prime size distribution. The BU treatment is pre-ferre~ since it yields slightly higher stress rupture ~ than the BR treatment. The dislocation and 3~, gamma-prime structures for the BU treatment produce a cell structure which is much more dispersed and interwoven than that produced by the EE treatment of the alloy set forth in Table I. The minimum cell thickness of the BU treat-:1~ 3~363 7 47,107I
mellt is appro.~imately the satne as the gamma-prime particle C i ~l g .
Ln order to further demonstrate the improvement that is obtained by means of the thermomechanical treat-ment of the present invention, reference may be had to thefollowing Tables VII and VIII which shows that this treat-ment is very effective in promoting high post radiation ductility. In this regard it should be pointed out that there exists a trough in which the ductility of these materials is materially decreased when tested at a temper-ature which is 110C above the temperature at which the material has been irradiated. Thus, the poorest ductility would be found at a temperature of 805C where the mater-ial has been irradiated at 695C. This 110 should ac-1'> count for all transient conditions of operation of forexample a fast breeder reactor. Thus the selection of the material and the heat treatment or the thermomechanical heat treatment of the material which when irradiated at 695centigrade should be tested at 805C where the lowest post irradiation ductility has occurred. Reference to the following Tables VII and VIII make it abundantly clear for example that the solution treated condition of alloy D66 when irradiated at 695C and tested at 805C exhibits zero ductility. In contrast thereto, material which has been subjected to the treatment set forth in the claims append-ed hereto of the same alloy irradiated at 695C and tested at 805C shows that a 1.1% uniform elongation is avail-able. It is critically important to maintain a greater than 0.3% ductility under these conditions since this is necessary to maintain fuel pin integrity during reactor transient conditions and the tables demonstrate the at-tainment of those goals. Tables VII and VIII also illus-trate that the higher ductility of this treatment is also accompanied by higher strength which is a highly unex-pected as respects these irradiated materials. Thesehigher strengths also attest to the fact of the excellent swelling resistance demonstrated by the alloys ~hich are subjected to the method of this treatment.

'Ihe foregoing alloy is a gamma-prime strength-ene(l superalloy. Its properties can be altered drasti-c~lly b~ varying its thermomechanical treatment prior to testing. The following Table II sets forth the various 'j thermomechanical treatments to which the alloy set forth in Table I was subjected; while Table III lists the re-sultin~ microstructural and mechanical properties of the alloy after heat treatment:

treatment produces higher stress rupture properties than treatment IN-l. The EC treatment results in a trimodal distribution of gamma-prime since the recrystallization 1.~33363 ~ 4 47,107I
anneal is below the gamma-prime solvus and results in the prccipitation of a small volume of large (approximately 600 nm) gamma-prime precipitates.
Of the treatments set forth in Tables II and III, three treatments produced dislocated structures.
These are treatments AR, IN-2 and EE. The stress rupture data of Table II reveals that heat treatment EE produces a significantly stronger material. This structure consists of an interwoven dislocated cell structure which is pinned by a bimodal gamma-prime distribution. This condition has the highest strength of any tested and is very stable because of the pinned nature of the dislocation cells.
The graph shown in the attached figure illus-trates the swelling behavior of the alloy set forth in Table I in three thermomechanical conditions, ST, EC and EE. The swelling versus temperature curves are for radia-tion doses of 30 dpae, which is equivalent to 203x103 ~-(i.e., greater than the goal fluence of 120x103 ~-). The data reveals that the ST and EE treatments produce the lowest swelling in the alloy set forth in Table II above.
The EC treatment produces an acceptable level of swelling at goal fluences but the treatment is far from optimum for in-reactor applications.
In similar tests, an alloy having the following composition was tested:

3~3 6 47,1071 I()"(` al-l(l lO()()QC + 20(`, respectively. Therefore, unlike thc alloy given in 'I'ab]e I, there is no temperature range in which recrystallization can be accomplished while aging. Consistent with this fact, treatments BP and BT
which involve annealing at 1038C and subsequent double-aging, both produce a dislocation-free austenite matrix and a bimodal gamma-prime distribution. Structures pro-duced by treatments CU and BU, which do not induce recrys-tallization, all contain a highly dislocated cell struc-l~ ture containing various distributions of gamma-prime.
Table VI is a summary of the observed structures and corresponding physical properties. Note that the mechanical property values are grouped into two classes.
These are non-dislocation density, gamma-prime containing structures having 650C, ultimate ten~ile strengths be-tween 135 and 137 ksi, and the dislocated gamma-prime structures, which are much stronger, with ultimate tensile strengths between 147 and 157 ksi. Because of their superior strength and because of the benefit of an in-creased incubation time for swelling, dislocated struc-tures are preferred.
Treatment CU set forth in Tables V and VI above, starts with a dislocated cell structure with a trimodal gamma-prime distribution which is subsequently cold-worked 2~j 30%. The final cold-working operation actually decreases the strength as indicated by the 650C ultimate tensile strength data set form in Table VI, apparently by des-troying the integrity of the dislocation cell walls.
Treatments BR and BU of the alloy set forth in Table IV both produce a highly dislocated, partially recrystallized or recovered cell structure with bimodal gamma-prime size distribution. The BU treatment is pre-ferre~ since it yields slightly higher stress rupture ~ than the BR treatment. The dislocation and 3~, gamma-prime structures for the BU treatment produce a cell structure which is much more dispersed and interwoven than that produced by the EE treatment of the alloy set forth in Table I. The minimum cell thickness of the BU treat-:1~ 3~363 7 47,107I
mellt is appro.~imately the satne as the gamma-prime particle C i ~l g .
Ln order to further demonstrate the improvement that is obtained by means of the thermomechanical treat-ment of the present invention, reference may be had to thefollowing Tables VII and VIII which shows that this treat-ment is very effective in promoting high post radiation ductility. In this regard it should be pointed out that there exists a trough in which the ductility of these materials is materially decreased when tested at a temper-ature which is 110C above the temperature at which the material has been irradiated. Thus, the poorest ductility would be found at a temperature of 805C where the mater-ial has been irradiated at 695C. This 110 should ac-1'> count for all transient conditions of operation of forexample a fast breeder reactor. Thus the selection of the material and the heat treatment or the thermomechanical heat treatment of the material which when irradiated at 695centigrade should be tested at 805C where the lowest post irradiation ductility has occurred. Reference to the following Tables VII and VIII make it abundantly clear for example that the solution treated condition of alloy D66 when irradiated at 695C and tested at 805C exhibits zero ductility. In contrast thereto, material which has been subjected to the treatment set forth in the claims append-ed hereto of the same alloy irradiated at 695C and tested at 805C shows that a 1.1% uniform elongation is avail-able. It is critically important to maintain a greater than 0.3% ductility under these conditions since this is necessary to maintain fuel pin integrity during reactor transient conditions and the tables demonstrate the at-tainment of those goals. Tables VII and VIII also illus-trate that the higher ductility of this treatment is also accompanied by higher strength which is a highly unex-pected as respects these irradiated materials. Thesehigher strengths also attest to the fact of the excellent swelling resistance demonstrated by the alloys ~hich are subjected to the method of this treatment.
