Abstract

The mechanisms for microstructural strengthening in creep deformation and radiation damage processes of advanced structural materials for nuclear applications are compared. During creep and irradiation, various defects are generated and move in the microstructure. Any microstructural features that can retard such defect movement may improve both creep and radiation damage resistance. Interfaces in the microstructure are important barriers for preventing defect motion. To achieve ultrahigh strength and enhanced radiation damage resistance, an extremely high density of interfaces has been designed in recently developed nanostructured materials. However, interface-mediated processes may govern the deformation of these materials, decreasing their creep properties. Methods for improving the creep resistance of nanostructured materials are reviewed and discussed.
