Compositionally-graded austenitic 316L stainless steel (SS) samples with five different Hafnium (Hf) concentrations (up to 1 wt.%) were additively manufactured by directed energy deposition and then were irradiated using 5 MeV Fe2+ ions to 50 displacements per atom (dpa) at 500, 550, and 600 °C, respectively. A rastering beam was used to ensure homogenous irradiations for the large areas of ∼1.40 cm2. Composition-dependent void evolution was evaluated. Void size, void number density, and void swelling all tend to decrease with increasing Hf concentration at all three temperatures. When the nominal Hf concentration increases to 1 wt.% in the doped additively manufactured (AM) 316L SS, the void swelling is over an order of magnitude lower than that in pure AM 316L. Atom probe tomography results showed that about 0.14 wt.% Hf dissolved in the matrix at the 1 wt.%. Hf nominal concentration. The suppression of void swelling by Hf addition shows qualitative agreement with the numerical calculation based on the vacancy trapping mechanism, indicating that the oversized Hf reduces the steady state vacancy concentration, and hence the incubation period of swelling is extended, resulting in a dramatic difference in void swelling. Other factors including grain boundaries, dislocation and dislocation cells, Hf-rich particles, and delta ferrite are secondary to this mechanism. This work shows that additive manufacturing enabled microalloying is promising for developing void swelling resistant materials.
