Abstract
The dose dependence of the crystalline-to-amorphous transformation was investigated in the intermetallic compound U 6Fe using reactor ambient temperature, thermal fission fragment damage. The transformation was meausred using calorimetry (DSC). The dose dependence is well described by the composite model of Dennis and Hale when both direct cascade amorphization and cascade overlap amorphization are included. This data is compared to published data on the transformation in NiTi induced by heavy ion irradiation. It is concluded that the U 6Fe results can be explained by a critical defect density model for the transformation similar to that proposed for NiTi.
