A nanomechanical Raman spectroscopy based assessment of stress distribution in irradiated and corroded SiC
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Silicon carbide (SiC) composites are under consideration for cladding and structural materials in various types of reactors. The effects of ion irradiation and corrosion on stress distribution due to mechanical loading on chemical vapor deposited (CVD) SiC were investigated in this paper by using nanomechanical Raman spectroscopy (NMRS). The stress distribution was analyzed as a function of the oxide formation on a corroded specimen and as a function of ion-induced irradiation damage in an irradiated specimen. A finite element method (FEM) based model was developed based on local mechanical properties measured using nanoindentation to predict the NMRS measured stress distribution. The stress distribution was also predicted theoretically by using a stress concentration factor, which is a function of sample geometry and boundary conditions. The maximum stress obtained theoretically was in good agreement with the FEM model and NMRS based measurements. FEM results captured the stress variation trends and maximum stress value in the analyzed samples. NMRS measurements predicted that corrosion had a greater influence on increasing the maximum value of stress in comparison to ion irradiation. The increase in stress attributed to corrosion in comparison to ion irradiated samples was approximately 10%–20%.
