Effect of Pulsed Ion-Plasma Impact and Electron Irradiation on Mechanical Properties of Precipitation-Hardened Inconel 718 Alloy

The effect of pulsed ion-plasma irradiation in the Plasma Focus Vikhr setup and irradiation with 20-MeV electrons at the Microtron-ST accelerator on the mechanical properties of the Inconel 718 precipitation-hardened alloy obtained by the selective laser fusion method has been studied. It was found that ion-plasma and electron irradiation does not affect the properties of the alloy, which is explained by the small thickness of the modified layer...
