AbstractIron alloys containing copper and nickel were irradiated at 288°C to a fluence of 4.63 × 1019 neutrons/cm2. Neutron irradiation produced defects which were observable by TEM in all of the iron alloys studied. The TEM analysis of the defects showed them to be interstitial dislocation loops with a < 100 > and a/2 < 111 > Burgers vectors. The size, the number density, and the Burgers vector of dislocations were affected by the alloy composition. The addition ofcopper and nickel decreased the dislocation loop size and increased the fraction of a/2 < 111 > loops. No voids or vacancy loops were observed in the irradiated iron alloys. The results are discussed in terms of dislocation loop nucleation and growth.

Recent studies have shown the presence of voids in several face-centered cubic metals after neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures. These voids were found when the irradiation temperature was above 0.3 Tm where Tm is the absolute melting point, and were ascribed to the agglomeration of lattice vacancies resulting from fast neutron generated displacement cascades. The present paper reports the existence of similar voids in the body-centered cubic metals tungsten and molybdenum.
