Abstract

Results of investigations on the determination of properties of 〈100〉-split interstitials and vacancies in many different model stainless steels, in 316L, in Ni–Cr and Fe–Ni alloys and in pure Ni are reported. Results obtained recently in our laboratory and in many different laboratories all over the world during the last 35 years are presented and discussed.

It is shown that many different microstructures can develop in all the investigated alloy materials, which are formed by migrating 〈100〉-split interstitials and vacancies after plastic deformation, after quenching, and after and during irradiation with high energy particles. The microstructure was determined by various diffraction experiments and the kinetics of the evolution of the microstructure was determined by electrical resistivity techniques. The self-diffusion coefficients in model stainless steels and in Ni were determined by means of radio-active tracers.

It was found that 〈100〉-split interstitials and vacancies migrate in all the investigated materials in recovery stages III and IV, respectively, and that the activation energies of migration of 〈100〉-split interstitials and vacancies in these steels are E1IM=(0.9±0.1)eV and E1VM=(1.15±0.1)eV, varying slightly from material to material.
