Abstract
The swelling, microstructure, and composition of grain boundaries in neutron-irradiated V–Fe alloys has been studied. It has been established that the swelling of V–Fe alloys observed after irradiation at a temperature of 370°С to a damaging dose of 1.3 dpa continuously decreases with an increase in the iron concentration from 0.7 to 5 at %. It is shown that at the grain boundaries in the V–2Fe and V–5Fe alloys an increased iron content is observed.
