Helium and point defect accumulation: (i) microstructure and mechanical behaviour
[He et accumulation de défauts ponctuels : (i) microstructure et comportement mécanique]
Comptes Rendus. Physique, Volume 9 (2008) no. 3-4, pp. 389-400.

Les aciers ferritiques/martensitiques sont de bons candidats pour les matériaux de structure des futurs réacteurs à fusion et des sources de spallation. Cependant, l'irradiation d'aciers conduit au durcissement, à la perte de ductilité, à la dérive de la température de transition fragile-ductile et à une réduction de ténacité et de résistance au gonflement, et ce, dès les doses les plus faibles. L'hélium (He), produit par transmutation durant l'irradiation, influence ces propriétés. De nombreuses études expérimentales et théoriques sur l'évolution de la microstructure des aciers sous irradiation ont été conduites jusqu'à présent. Nous passons en revue l'effet des dégâts d'irradiation, en particulier de l'He, sur les propriétés mécaniques des aciers ferritiques/martensitiques.

Ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels are good candidate structural materials for the future fusion reactors and spallation sources. However, irradiation of steels is known to produce hardening, loss of ductility, shift in ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT) and reduction of fracture toughness and creep resistance starting at low doses. Helium (He), produced by transmutation during the irradiation, also impacts mechanical properties. Numerous experimental and theoretical studies on the evolution of the microstructure of steels under irradiation have been conducted until now. We review the effect of irradiation-induced point defects and in particular of He on the mechanical properties of F/M steels.
