Enhanced precipitation in IN617 induced by ion irradiation at elevated temperatures
The high-temperature irradiation response of Ni-based superalloys remains a critical knowledge gap for advanced nuclear reactor applications. In this study, the microstructural evolution and mechanical property changes in IN617 alloy under Ni2+ ion irradiation up to 10 dpa at 600 °C and 800 °C were investigated via combined electron microscopic characterizations and nanoindentation. Microstructural characterizations reveal that irradiation reduces the size and volume fraction of carbides, while promoting γ' phase precipitation. The enhanced γ' precipitation can be attributed to the pronounced atomic diffusion induced by irradiation. Furthermore, the dislocation density in the sample irradiated at 800 °C is much lower than that at 600 °C due to thermal annihilation. Both γ' precipitation and increased dislocation density contribute to the higher nanoindentation hardness in the irradiated samples. These findings establish fundamental relationships between irradiation temperature, precipitate stability, and mechanical degradation in IN617 alloy.
