Title: A spectral effect on phase evolution in neutron-irradiated aluminum?

Conference ·
OSTI ID:36691

It is proposed that the spatial distribution of transmutation-produced silicon precipitates formed in aluminum by capture of thermal neutrons is systematically modified by the fast neutron portion of the spectrum, and the tensile strength is altered accordingly. The concept is used to rationalize some previously erratic tensile data.
