Evaluation of helium effect on ion-irradiation hardening in pure tungsten by nano-indentation method

As-received and recrystallized pure tungsten (W) were irradiated with 6.4MeV Fe3+ up to 2dpa with or without He+ at 300°C, 500°C, 700°C and 1000°C respectively. Irradiation hardening was measured by the nano-indentation method. An equation to evaluate the bulk equivalent hardness was derived on the...
