Interactions between radiation defects and interstitial impurities in nickel microalloyed with carbon and Boron under electron and neutron irradiation

Resumo

Complex investigations have been carried out of the radiation damage of nickel alloys microalloyed with interstitial carbon and boron impurities under cascadeless electron and cascade neutron irradiation. Boron’s contribution to the resistivity has been found and the binding energy of a vacancy with boron atom has been determined to be 0.2 eV. The main mechanisms of radiation-induced structural and phase changes have been revealed.
