The effect of 1.5 MeV proton beam and gamma radiation on reactive sintered borides (RSBs) are presented in this poster.
Radiation response in RSBs were observed to be highly temperature-dependant with the most significant change observed from 293 K 10 MGy gamma irradiation and 410 K proton beam irradiated sample.Radiation-induced changes between the incident and back-face were much greater at low temperature relative to high temperatures.

This poster reports the first results on the effects of simultaneous dual-beam He-Fe ion irradiation on cWC. EBSD and TEM have been used to perform phase-dependant analysis of the impact of He-Fe ion beam irradiation, which simulates some aspects of neutron damage.cWC samples were irradiated at 400°C, 550°C and 700°C which are within the expected temperature range near the first wall of a fusion reactor power plant.TEM images taken 100 μm from the incident face (IF) showed dislocation presence inversely proportional to irradiation temperature. Phase-dependant analysis from EBSD data show that iron carbides are the least radiation resistant while WC is the most radiation-resistant in terms of degraded crystal quality.
