Abstract

We developed a novel low-activation,ultrafine-grained W-Cr-V multicomponent alloy(MCA)with excel-lent thermal stability and desirable high-temperature strength.The as-sintered W70Cr15V15(at.%)alloy was mainly composed of a body-centered cubic(BCC)solid solution matrix with an average grain size of~0.45 μm,minor hexagonal close-packed(HCP)phase,and ultrafine oxides at grain boundary(GB)regions.The average grain size of the MCA was<2 μm after heating at 1500 ℃ for 1 h,showing a high thermal stability of the microstructure.Accordingly,the estimated grain growth exponent n(~7)and the corresponding activation energy(~433 kJ mol-1)of the MCA indicate that diffusion during the grain growth in the present W-Cr-V alloy is dominated by the GB diffusion.Such high thermal stability can be mainly attributed to the significant pinning effects from the in-situ formed oxides at GBs.Besides,the nonequilibrium segregation of Cr and V at GBs also contributes to the thermal stability of the alloy at temperatures of 1200 ℃ and below.Furthermore,the average high-temperature compressive strength of the alloy was over 1376 MPa at 1100 ℃,mainly due to the prominent solid solution and GB strengthening which were still effective at the high temperature.The results indicate that the present low-activation W-Cr-V alloy system with exceptional thermal stability and high-temperature mechanical properties could be a promising candidate for structural materials in future fusion reactors.
