Abstract
When precipitation hardened Alloy 718 is irradiated with high-energy protons (600–800 MeV) and spallation neutrons at temperatures below ∼60∘C, it quickly hardens and loses almost all uniform elongation. It later softens somewhat at higher exposures but does not regain any elongation. This behavior is explained in terms of the evolution of Frank loop formation, disordering and eventual dissolution of the γ′ and γ″ strengthening phases, and the steady accumulation of very large levels of helium and hydrogen. These gases must be dispersed on a very fine scale in the matrix since no cavities could be found.
