The migration and coalescence of tritium-induced helium bubbles during creep in nickel

Grain boundary helium bubbles in Ni were found to act as effective creep cavity nuclei, but only after attaining critical size for growth by vacancy absorption. The growth of an initial population of subcritical bubbles took place by a migration and coalescence process involving bubble transport by...

Zusammenfassung:Grain boundary helium bubbles in Ni were found to act as effective creep cavity nuclei, but only after attaining critical size for growth by vacancy absorption. The growth of an initial population of subcritical bubbles took place by a migration and coalescence process involving bubble transport by moving grain boundary dislocations as accurately modeled by Beere. Attainment of a stable distribution of critical bubble/cavities was rapid, however, being effectively complete by the end of primary creep. 5 ref.--AA
