Two-dimensional phase-field simulations of void swelling in the Austenitic stainless steel were performed for irradiated materials. A numerical model was established for void swelling with an implementation of the elasticity effect, and we examined the roles of the applied stress and grain boundary sink strength and Frenkel defect recombination in determining the void swelling rate. The obtained results were compared with the existing experimental observations.
ARTICLE HISTORY
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
