Title: Evolution dependence of vanadium nitride nanoprecipitates on directionality of ion irradiation

Abstract

The influence of the directionality of Fe2+ ion irradiation on the evolution of vanadium nitride platelet–shaped nanoprecipitates at 500 °C was investigated in this paper in a ferritic alloy using transmission electron microscopy. When the ion-irradiation direction was approximately aligned with the initial particle length, particles grew longer and sectioned into shorter lengths at higher doses, resulting in increased particle densities. As ion-irradiation direction deviated from particle-length direction, some particles sectioned lengthwise and then dissolved, resulting in decreased particle densities. Surviving particles were transformed into parallelograms with a different orientation relationship with the matrix. Finally, nanoprecipitate evolution dependence on beam-nanoprecipitate orientation is a process that may be different from reactor irradiation.
