摘要: Abstract The correlation of microstructure evolution and hardening was studied in two kinds A533B-1 steel with high low levels Cu irradiated a range dose from 0.32 to 9.9 × 10 19  n cm −2 ( E  > 1 MeV) under flux about 1.7 × 10 13  s −1 using three-dimensional local electrode atom probe (3DAP), positron annihilation (PA) techniques, Vickers microhardness. early rapid found be caused by mainly matrix defects such as mono- or di-vacancies V 1  −  2 ) and/or dislocations indicated the PA analysis. 3DAP analysis showed that dense dispersion dilute rich clusters lean distribution Mn–Ni–Si clusters, which were identified possess same dislocation-pinning effect by applying Russell Brown model, were responsible for large small high- low-Cu steels above 0.59 × 10 , respectively.
