Crystalline to Amorphous Transformation of Fe3B By 1 MeV Electron Irradiation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Specimens of amorphous Fe75B25 produced by rapid quenching from the melt were annealed to complete crystallization and subjected to 1 MeV electron irradiation in a transmission electron microscope at room temperature and at 130 K. The irradiation was interrupted at various intervals in order to obtain bright field images and diffraction patterns. The Fe3B crystals did not become amorphous at room temperature, even after damage levels of several dpa, whereas at 130 K the crystalline to amorphous transformation was observed to be complete at damage levels below 1 dpa. The results are combined with those of ion irradiation work on Fe3B; qualitative agreement is found between Fe3B and previous work on the Zr3Al alloy concerning their response to displacement damage by electron and ion irradiation.
