Abstract The gadolinium-containing oxide dispersion strengthening (ODS) alloy, which will promisingly be with good neutron shielding performance and elevated-temperature mechanical properties, can be used as one of the shielding materials for the small modular lead-cooled fast reactor. The gadolinium-containing ODS-316L steel was prepared through the powder metallurgy process of mechanical alloying-spark plasma sintering. It was found that the speed of ball-milling affected the types of precipitated phases in the steel. Nano-sized Gd-Si-O precipitates distributed in the ODS-316L steel at a low ball-milling speed of 220 r/min, while hundred-nanometers sized M23C6 clusters and Gd-Si-O precipitates both distributed in the steel fabricated with high ball-milling speed of 300 r/min. A certain number of nanometer gadolinium-containing oxides distributed in M23C6 clusters. The segregation of elements and the accumulation of internal stress caused by the high ball-milling speed in as-milled powders were conducive to the nucleation of M23C6 precipitates, and the temperature of the powder sintering process provided a driving force for the growth of M23C6 precipitates. This study can provide certain experimental experience and theoretical foundation for the microstructure control of powder metallurgy gadolinium-containing ODS-316L steel.
