Nondestructive evaluation of dislocations in iron single crystals by positron annihilation

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6749441
A new nondestructive method for determining dislocation density was introduced. The positron lifetime spectrum was analyzed to separate the screw- and edge-dislocation components in pure iron single crystals. The dislocation density measured by the positron annihilation technique was compared with the result of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Recovery stages in pure iron single crystals were studied using positron-annihilation Doppler broadening.
