Collaborative Study Examines Irradiation Driven Precipitation in Ni Cr Mo Alloys
A collaboration among the University of Michigan, Idaho National Laboratory, and Oregon State University has examined the anisotropic growth of the ordered Ni₂(Cr,Mo) phase during proton irradiation.
The study combined irradiation capabilities at MIBL with characterization resources at Idaho National Laboratory. Led by Oregon State’s Xavier Quintana, the work included contributions from NOME researcher Mackenzie Warwick and received Laboratory Directed Research and Development support. The results add to our understanding of how irradiation changes the microstructure of nickel-based alloys.
