Аннотация

The aluminum alloy SAV-1 was studied before and after neutron irradiation with doses ranging from 10¹⁶ to
10¹⁸ n/cm². The measurements were carried out using volumetric methods, namely small-angle neutron scattering and
neutron diffraction. A loading machine was employed to investigate the correlation between structural changes and the
strength characteristics of the samples. It was found that changes in the strength characteristics of aluminum alloys were
associated with modifications occurring at the grain boundaries during irradiation. The obtained experimental data allow
us to conclude that the SAV-1 alloy represents an interstitial solid solution, and its strength changes nonlinearly depending
on the radiation dose.
