Abstract

Although the B2-type intermetallic compounds, NiAl, FeAl, NiTi and FeTi all maintained a high degree of order during irradiation, metastable phase formation was observed. Dislocation loops and network developed in NiAl and FeAl during irradiation and a nickel rich, fcc phase, most likely disordered Ni3Al, formed in NiAl after high doses. The build-up of constitutional vacancies (excess vacancies on Ni sites) and subsequent elemental partitioning of Ni and Al can explain the formation of a nickel rich phase in NiAl. No metastable phases formed in FeAl. Dislocation loop structures did not develop in NiTi or FeTi, rather a transformation to an amorphous phase occurred at relatively low doses. The amorphous transformation results when the free energy of the crystal lattice containing a high defect concentration exceeds the free energy of the amorphous configuration.
