    Abstract

    The influence of changes in the fabrication procedure of ferritic alloys with compositions Fe-13Cr-Ti-Mo-TiO2 on the swelling behaviour are investigated. The fabrication procedures are: casting, powder metallurgy 3- milling in air and powder metallurgy 3- milling in argon. No difference is found for the results obtained for the materials fabricated by casting and by powder metallurgy 3- milling in air. Slightly different results are obtained for the material fabricated by powder metallurgy 3- milling in argon. This material contains argon in solution in the matrix, which causes a small shift of the peak swelling temperature and of the peak swelling helium concentration for tests carried out at 450°C. The overall swelling of this material is the lowest due to the small grain size and to the high density of inclusions.
