Fe-Cr-Al alloys are currently being considered for accident tolerant light water reactor fuel cladding applications due to their superior high temperature oxidation and corrosion resistance compared to Zr-based alloys. However, precipitation of the Cr-rich alpha' phase during exposure to LWR operational environments can result in application-limiting hardening and embrittlement. To study this effect, four Fe-Cr-Al model alloys with compositions between 10-18 at.% Cr and 5.8-9.3 at.% Al have been neutron-irradiated in the High Flux Isotope Reactor at a target temperature of 320°C to nominal damage doses of up to 7 dpa in order to emulate typical LWR exposure conditions. A correlative microscopy approach involving atom probe tomography, small-angle neutron scattering, and scanning transmission electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy was employed to study the resulting precipitate microstructure. This approach necessitated the development of various analysis techniques to allow for cross-comparison between experimental techniques, including a novel method for correcting for trajectory aberration artifacts in atom probe data sets through phase density comparison. Successful correlation of results from these techniques allows for the individual limitations of each to be overcome and enables the detailed microstructural information gleaned from highly localized atom probe tomography analyses to be extrapolated to bulk alloy behavior. Precipitation response was found to increase with Cr content, while Al additions appeared to partially destabilized the alpha' phase, resulting in precipitate compositions with reduced Cr content compared to binary Fe-Cr systems. Observed precipitate evolution with radiation dose indicates a diffusion-limited coarsening mechanism that is similar to what is observed in the thermally aged system. This work represents the current state-of-the-art on both techniques for analysis of alpha' precipitate microstructures and the processes and mechanisms governing its formation in neutron-irradiated Fe-Cr-Al alloys.
