Abstract

57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry were used to study EUROFER or VVER ferritic reactor steels mechanically alloyed with TaC or NbC. Significant changes were found in the Mössbauer spectra and in the corresponding hyperfine field distributions between the ball milled pure steel and that alloyed with TaC or NbC. Spectral differences were also found in the case of use of same carbides with different origin, too. The observed spectral changes as an effect of ball milling of the reactor material steels with carbides can be associated with change in short range order of the constituents of steel.
