Abstract

Mechanical atomic displacement in intermetallic compounds can be introduced by var-ious processes such as severe plastic deformation, mechanical milling and electron irradiation, resulting in the crystal-to-amorphous (C-A) transition and amorphous-to-crystal (A-C) transition in some alloy systems. Recently, unique atomic displacement-induced-phase transitions contain-ing both amorphization and crystallization was found: a crystal-to-amorphous-to-crystal (C-A-C) transition under electron irradiation and a cyclic C-A transition during mechanical milling. The features and predicting factors of alloy systems which undergo C-A-C transition under MeV electron irradiation are discussed based upon the analysis of experimental data reported to date in intermetallic compounds irradiated by High voltage electron microscope (HVEM).
