“…The size factor has the decisive effect on the character of the interaction between alloying atoms and point defects in the solid solution. In nickel and austenitic Fe-CrNi and Fe-Ni alloys, undersized impurity atoms (P, Si) interact predominantly with interstitial atoms [2][3][4][5], while oversized impurities (Ti, Nb) interact with vacancies [3,6,7]. The formation of stable low-mobility complexes of interstitial atoms or vacancies with impurity atoms increases the recombination of point defects and, hence, changes the formation kinetics of defect clusters.…”
