Revisiting the Dependence of Electrical Resistivity on Cu-Rich Precipitates in an Aged Fe-Cu Model Alloy: A Microstructure-Based Prediction Model
2025
Overview
Nanoscale Cu-rich precipitates (CRPs) play a crucial role in the irradiation embrittlement of reactor pressure vessels (RPVs), and binary Fe-Cu alloys serve as practical models to study the evolution of these precipitates. This study investigates the electrical resistivity of an Fe-1.17 wt.% Cu model alloy aged at 450 °C to enhance the understanding of electrical measurements for the non-destructive assessment of RPV irradiation embrittlement. Multi-level characterization methods were used to obtain quantitative data on multi-scale microstructures, including precipitates, dislocations, and grains. The formation and growth of CRPs were found to align closely with the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami model, and the variation in electrical resistivity showed a strong correlation with the evolution of the microstructure. Combined with detailed quantitative microstructure evolution analysis, an electrical resistivity prediction model that considers microstructural mechanisms has been developed. This model can accurately show the effect of CRPs on resistivity and can potentially be extended to RPV steels with other solute-rich precipitates, with a maximum absolute percentage error not exceeding 5%. These results provide a robust basis for the non-destructive and in-service evaluation of RPV irradiation embrittlement using electrical resistivity.
