Abstract

Concurrent heavy ion irradiation during annealing lowered the normal crystallization temperature and altered the type of crystallization reaction in an amorphous 304 stainless steel containing 14 at% tungsten. The crystallization temperature was lower by approximately 150 K during irradation and only a fine grained χ phase was formed during irradiation compared to the dual structure of b c c + χ phase formed in the absence of irradiation. The decrease in the crystallization temperature was attributed to radiation enhanced diffusion and the preferential formation of the χ phase was attributed to localized rearrangement of the amorphous structure due to displacement spikes.
