Abstract
Since irradiation-induced swelling of austenitic alloys has been traced to void formation, quantitative determinations of void size, size distribution, and volume fraction have become important. Such measurements are made on electron micrographs of thin foils whose thicknesses must be known to make quantitative calculations possible. By adapting a recent method of determining the foil thickness of alloys containing precipitates to the present problem of alloys containing voids, reasonable values within the expected range were obtained for the thickness of the specimen foils investigated. Furthermore, void volume fractions determined with these foil thicknesses showed good correlation with the bulk density changes observed in Types 304 and 347 stainless steel and Incoloy-800.
