Abstract

The structural and phase transformations and atomic redistribution induced by neutron irradiation have been investigated in aging fcc Fe–Ni alloys using special alloying with elements M (Si, Ti, Al, Zr) that form intermetallic compounds. It has been established that the mechanism and kinetics of disturbance of regions of Ni–M atomic order in atomic displacement cascades upon neutron irradiation are linked to the chemical activity and diffusion mobility of alloying elements. Comparison with the laws of the deformationinduced dissolution of intermetallic compounds has been conducted.
