Abstract Scope |
Ion bombardment is commonly used as a surrogate for neutron damage or to mimic He production in materials. In this work, we use in-situ TEM compression and tension experiments to investigate the impact of ion irradiation on the nano-mechanical properties of 316 stainless steel and Er hydrides. We compare the effects of dual beam Au and He irradiation with neutron irradiation on the nanomechanical compressive properties of 316 stainless, and the effects of He implantation to natural He aging in a metal hydride to correlate the ion irradiation damage and implantation with the mechanical properties changes. This study compares the impact of ion irradiation to the nano-mechanical properties of radioactive materials.
