Helium trapping in carbide precipitates in a tempered F82H ferritic–martensitic steel

The microstructural changes of a tempered F82H ferritic–martensitic steel following He implantation at 60 and 500 °C have been examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography (APT). After irradiation at 500 °C, numerous He bubbles were formed throughout the matrix, where...
