Abstract: | A Hastelloy alloy was irradiated with 10 MeV electrons at 650 degrees C for 700 h to a total dose of 2 x 10(-3) displacements per atom (dpa). The microstructure of irradiated and non-irradiated specimens of this alloy were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The non-irradiated specimens were analyzed by 3-D atom probe tomography (APT) in a local-electrode atom-probe (LEAP). TEM analysis before the irradiation detects small precipitates with a mean diameter of 22 nm, which are coherent with the FCC matrix. The number density of these precipitates is approximately 7 x 10(18) m(-3). Electron diffraction patterns from these precipitates exhibit superlattice reflections corresponding to the L1(2) ordered structure. The chemical composition of the precipitates, as measured by APT, is around 75 at% Ni with additions of Al, Ti and Mo. After electron irradiation, small precipitates with an irregular morphology are observed. The number density of these new precipitates about 10(20) m(-3) is greater than that of the L1(2) ordered precipitates before irradiation. The L1(2) superlattice reflections disappear completely, instead diffuse diffraction spots are observed at 1(1/2)0(FCC), which is attributed to compositional short-range order (SRO). The results are discussed with respect to the influence of the electron irradiation on the morphology and structure of the ordered precipitates. |
