It was found by fracture surface Auger analyses that while neutron irradiation enhanced intergranular segregation of S in a Cu-doped alloy with the absence of P segregation, it mitigated S segregation and promoted P segregation in P containing alloys. The quantity of segregated P was much greater for the irradiated alloys than for the thermally 1000 h aged alloys. The P-doped alloy showed a stronger effect of neutron irradiation on the enrichment of P segregation than the P-Cu-doped and P-C-doped alloys. Argon sputtering experiments indicated that the segregation profiles for S and P were more broadly and narrowly distributed during irradiation, respectively. A remarkable transition of the P segregation profile was observed near the interface of particles lying along grain boundaries where S was preferentially segregated because of the competitive segregation between S and P. The mechanism for neutron irradiation-induced solute segregation is discussed in light of inverse Kirkendall effects and the formation of defect-solute complexes arising from the dynamic interaction between solute and defect fluxes. The relationship of intergranular solute segregation to embrittlement is presented.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":6969,"journal":{"name":"Acta Metallurgica","volume":"37 12","pages":"Pages 3283-3296"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0001-6160(89)90201-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74190536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In all three cases, the interface between the phases is modelled as a Gibbsian dividing surface, and the excess internal energy associated with the interface is allowed to depend on both the deformation of the interface and the crystallographic normal to the interface. The position of an interface can vary due to both deformation at the interface and transformation between the two phases at the interface (accretion), and so we define a special variation that accounts for both. Thus, surface stress appears explicitly in both the force and energy balances at crystal-melt and coherent crystal-crystal interfaces. In particular, an interfacial strain energy term appears in the energy balance at these interfaces; this term gives the energy of deforming the interface against the force associated with the surface stress, and is a new result from this analysis. Anisotropy also appears in this energy balance through a term that can be expressed by using Cahn and Hoffman's ξ-vector. Finally, it is shown that a greased crystal-crystal system differs from crystal-melt and coherent crystal-crystal systems in that two independent deformations and crystallographic normals can be defined at a greased interface. However, by partitioning the excess energy associated with a greased interface between these deformations and normals, one can reduce the equilibrium conditions at a greased interface to those that obtain if the two crystals would interact only through a thin fluid layer at the interface.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":6969,"journal":{"name":"Acta Metallurgica","volume":"37 12","pages":"Pages 3119-3138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0001-6160(89)90184-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86791174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
