Abstract
During the early study of irradiation-induced precipitation in undersaturated solid solutions [1], it was noticed that precipitation saturates before the matrix solute content decreases down to the solubility limit under irradiation [2]. Such a behaviour was explained by the change in defect balance which results from the freezing of mobile solute atoms to solute clusters: for a given irradiation flux and temperature, a decrease in the solute drift towards the precipitate results, the order of magnitude of which is compatible with the saturation observed in the Al Zn system under 1-MeV electron irradiation [2].
