Abstract:
Understanding the evolution of material’s properties under irradiation as well as it connection with the underlying microstructure is a key point for both the development of radiation tolerant materials and nano-materials with tunable properties. To study this connection, we are modeling the out and under irradiation evolution of the microstructure in FeCr, a toy model of Ferritic-Martensitic steels, promising candidate as structural materials for future nuclear reactors. Under irradiation, FeCr alloys are prone to Cr-rich precipitation (α’ precipitation), which is known to damage mechanical property of the alloy. An important effort have been carried out to properly characterized by Atom Probe Tomography (APT) the evolution of these precipitation in function of irradiation conditions (electrons, 2 MeV Fe ions) leading to complex microstructures under investigation. We point out during the presentation that the existence of a damage profile induced by the Fe ion beam makes complex the analysis of mechanical testing.
Bio:
Olivier TISSOT performed his PhD at French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission Saclay (CEA), in 2016. Then, he joined the CEA as a researcher to study the effect of irradiation in the FeCr based alloys by Atom Probe Tomography (APT) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). During the past 5 years, he mainly worked on characterizing ferritic model alloys before and after irradiation. He looked after several radiation induced damage in FeCr model alloys such as defects creation, evolution and precipitation. His current main topic of research is the effect of radiation on grain boundary segregation in ferritic alloys. In addition, he is in charge of the High Voltage Electron Microscope (HVEM) facility. He also gives some courses on radiation effects in metals in the engineering school Paris-Saclay.
