Abstract
Atom Probe Field Ion Microscopy (APFIM) has been used to characterise the microstructural and chemical changes occurring in depleted U - 0.75wt% Ti and depleted U - 2.2 wt% Mo during aging to peak strength. Strengthening in U - 0.75 Ti was found to follow the classical GP zone - equilibrium precipitate route. Precipitation hardening was confirmed in the U - 2.2 Mo alloy.
