Reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic steels, RAFs, are leading candidates for blanket and first wall of fusion reactors, and effects of displacement damage and helium production on mechanical properties and microstructures are important subjects. The objective of this work is to clarify radiation hardening mechanism by means of ion irradiation and nano indentation. JLF-1 (9Cr–2W–V, Ta) steel was irradiated to 60dpa at 693, 743 and 793K. Single-ion irradiation was performed with 6.4MeV Fe3+. The Fe3+ions and the energy-degraded 1.0MeV He+ions were simultaneously irradiated for dual-ion irradiations. The displacement damage rate and helium injection rate were up to 1.0×10−3dpa/s and 1.5×10−2appm He/s, respectively. As the post-irradiation examination, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations and nano-indentation measurements were carried out. Small differences in micro-hardness between these irradiation temperatures were measured under single-ion irradiation. Radiation-induced precipitate (RIP) was formed at 743K under single-ion irradiation, but the contribution of RIP to radiation hardening was estimated smaller than that of dislocation loops. Helium effect of microstructural evolution at 693K under dual-ion irradiation was found to contain a finer defect clusters than that under single-ion irradiation, and a large increment of irradiation hardening was measured in the specimen irradiated at 693K under dual-ion irradiations.
