Phase field modelling of microstructure transformations in Zr-Sn alloy during irradiation
Abstract
In this work we study peculiarities of spatial rearrangement of solute and vacancy concentrations in Zr-Sn alloy at stages of both thermal treatment of solid solution and irradiation of annealed alloy under reactor conditions. To this end, we exploit phase field modelling including reaction rate theory and CALPHAD method combined in one generalized approach. Simulations were done in 3D in order to get a detailed information about rearrangement of solutes and defects in a bulk. We discuss the emergence of the secondary phase at the stage of thermal treatment and its stability under neutron irradiation. We analyze an influence of the irradiation dose onto statistical properties of the secondary phase particles.
