Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of performance prediction of nuclear power materials under irradiation conditions, in particular to a method and a system for predicting irradiation hardening based on a microstructure.
Background
In 2020 + 2050 years, China plans to develop a fast neutron breeder reactor, and one of the key points of project development is the nuclear material problem. Due to the generation of a large number of point defects and the interaction between the point defects and atoms in the service process, main elements of the material are segregated at crystal boundaries and dislocation positions, so that irradiation defects such as irradiation induced precipitation, dislocation loops, cavities and the like are generated. These defects may hinder dislocation motion, causing radiation hardening, while at the same time reducing the ductility of the material leading to deterioration of the material. Therefore, understanding the relationship between irradiation defects and material property changes is critical to long-life service and life prediction of nuclear power materials.
Because of the radioactivity of neutron irradiation and the difficulty of neutron experiments, heavy ion irradiation is mostly adopted to simulate the neutron irradiation effect for the irradiation effect research of nuclear power materials at present. But the damage degree of the irradiation layer irradiated by ions is small (<1 μm) and the size of the sample is small, so that the mechanical property experiment of the heavy ion irradiation material is challenged. At present, nano indentation is mostly applied, but the technology can only be used for detecting the change of hardness before and after irradiation and extrapolating the change of yield strength of the material, the calculated value is often different from the calculated value of a microstructure, and the stress-strain response relation of the irradiated material is difficult to establish. Another test technique is a microcolumn tensile/compression experiment, which can better reflect the radiation hardening effect, but the equipment is difficult to obtain and high in cost. And then, the researchers adopt various simulation means to predict the radiation stress strain response and study the defect interaction. The irradiation hardening is closely related to the irradiated microstructure, the phase field simulation is used as a microscopic scale simulation means, due to the unique advantages of the phase field simulation at the microstructure level, the method obtains wide attention of domestic and foreign scholars, the phase field method can carry out the collaborative research on defect generation and performance change, improves the prediction precision of the irradiation hardening of the material and can obtain the stress strain response relation, and the method is a new direction for the prediction of the irradiation performance and service life evolution of the nuclear power material.
