摘要
The solubility limit of Cr in Fe (alpha-Fe-Cr) at low temperatures is a matter of debate. We report a direct estimation of the solubility limit at 300 degrees C from small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) data obtained for neutron-irradiated Fe-Cr alloys. The SANS results indicate that the equilibrium concentration of alpha' was reached via irradiation-enhanced diffusion. The solubility limit was estimated using an iterative approach based on the SANS invariant and the lever rule of phase equilibrium. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
