Mechanisms of Radiation Induced Amorphization

  • Chapter
Ordering and Disordering in Alloys

Abstract

A brief review is presented of the mechanisms of energy storage leading to irradiation induced amorphization, with special attention to the comparison between chemical disordering and point defects. It is shown that in addition to chemical disordering, there is considerable experimental evidence for the point defect mechanism. A summary is presented of experimental results of amorphization induced by neutron, electron and ion irradiation of Zr(Cr,Fe)2 precipitates in Zircaloy, and of their theoretical interpretation. In that system, there is evidence for forms of energy storage other than chemical disordering, notably amorphization by departure from stoichiometry under neutron irradiation.
