| Abstract | Ni-Mo based "Hastelloy" alloys are structural materials for the accelerator-driven molten-salt reactor, in which they are subjected to intense radiation damage. This causes a complete alteration of the microstructure. Since atomic collisions are responsible for inducing, modifying and activating the kinetic processes which alter the microstructure, high energy electron or proton irradiation is suitable to simulate the microstructural changes. A "Hastelloy" alloy with the nominal composition Ni-11.7Mo-6.7Cr-1.5Fe-0.8Al-0.5Ti-0.5Mg-0.5Nb-0.15Si-0.05Y (wt.%) was investigated in this study. The material was homogenized at 1100degC for 1 h and aged at 675degC for 50 h. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies demonstrate decoration of the grain boundaries by large Ni-Ti-Si precipitates with a high content of Y (up to 30 at.%). Local-electrode atom-probe (LEAP) tomographic analyses reveal additional small precipitates with a cylindrical morphology. The composition of these precipitates is 73.8Ni-14.8Al-3.7Ti-3.6Mo-1.7Cr (at.%) and small amounts of Mn, Fe, Si and Nb. This composition corresponds to an intermetallic phase with an $A_{3}B$ structure. Additionally transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses show that the precipitates have a mean diameter of 22 nm and are coherent with the fee matrix. The number density of these precipitates is about 2 times 10 $^{21}$ $m^{-3}.$ Electron diffraction patterns from these precipitates exhibit superlattice reflections corresponding to the ordered $L1_{2}$ structure. For studying the microstructural changes during irradiation, the alloy was irradiated with 10 MeV electrons at 650degC for 700 h. The dose was 2 times $10^{-3}$ dpa (displacement per atom). The large precipitates at the grain boundaries remain unchanged by the electron irradiation. The small precipitates with the cylindrical morphology, however, are no longer visible. Instead, new small precipitates with an irregular morphology are observed. The number density of these new precipitates is of the same order as that of the $A_{3}B$ precipitates before irradiation. The $L1_{2}$ diffraction spots disappear completely, instead diffuse diffraction spots are observed at lang1 1/2 0rang $_{fcc},$ which are attributed to short range order (SRO). An ordering transformation from $L1_{2}$ to lang1 1/2 $0rang_{fcc}$ requires a change of the atom positions. SRO with lang1 1/2 $0rang_{fcc}$ superstructure reflections have been found in $Ni_{3}Mo$ or in $Ni_{4}Mo$ precipitates in Ni-Mo alloys after thermal treatment. However, the content of Mo in the investigated "Hastelloy" alloy is significantly lower than that of these alloys. In both cases the ordering transformation requires changes of atom positions, which are induced by thermally activated transport or by radiation-induced diffusion, respectively. In the present case the irradiation damage may lead to the formation of metastable phases |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
