Damage relief of ion-irradiated Inconel alloy 718 via annealing
CD Fincher, H Turman, A French, M Chancey… - Nuclear Instruments and …, 2020 - Elsevier
Inconel alloy 718 is a high-strength and corrosion resistant alloy that is commonly used as a
beamline vacuum window. The accumulation of irradiation-induced damage substantially
decreases the window's service lifetime, and replacing it engenders significant beamline
downtime. With this application in mind, herein we examine whether post-irradiation
annealing can alleviate irradiation-induced damage of Inconel alloy 718. Inconel alloy 718
was received in a solution annealed state. We then irradiated samples using two different …
