Effects of chemical composition, ion irradiation dose and temperature on unfaulting of irradiation induced Frank dislocation loops to perfect loops in two nickel based single-phase solid solution alloys, Ni–20Fe and NiFe–20Cr, have been studied. The fraction of Frank loops decreases with irradiation dose from 7.2 to 38.4 dpa at 500°C, but with more Frank loops remaining in the ternary alloy. However, perfect loops and dislocation networks become the dominant features of defects at 580°C in both alloys. The results indicate a thermally assisted loop unfaulting process that may be hindered by more sluggish defect motion in the alloy with more chemical components. Nano-indentation with both continuous stiffness method and single indentation method are used to measure radiation hardening. Loop unfaulting in both alloys irradiated at 580°C reduced radiation hardening while significant hardening is observed after irradiation at 500°C. The quasi-static single indentation method exhibits lower hardness results compared to continuous stiffness method, because dislocations induced from the cyclic loading in the latter method get relaxed and stabilized, resulting in higher resistance to the indenter.
