Sequential and separate irradiation experiments on SIMP steel specimens at room temperature using H and He ions with various energy levels were conducted to produce an ion deposition plateau at 300-650 nm. The indentation stress-strain responses were examined using spherical nanoindentation tests after the irradiation experiments. It was found that the sequential irradiation by He and H produced a higher indentation yield stress than separate irradiation, indicating that the hardening was enhanced by the synergy of the H and He irradiation. The micro-mechanism responsible for enhancing the hardening of the SIMP steel through the H and He synergy was investigated using Doppler broadening spectroscopy detection and transmission electron spectroscopy observations.展开更多

Single-beam(electron) and dual-beam(He^+/e^-) irradiations are performed at 350℃ and 400℃ using an ultra-high voltage electron microscope combined with ion accelerators. In-situ observation shows that the growth rate of dislocation loops is reduced in the helium pre-injected specimen. The mean size of cavities decreased in the helium preinjected specimen. The possible mechanisms are discussed.展开更多
