This paper presents an atom probe tomography study of phase transformation and solute segregation in Fe-Cr alloys of low purity under self-ion irradiation. Fe-9%Cr and Fe-12%Cr were irradiated at 100 degrees C, 300 degrees C and 420 degrees C at a dose of 0.5 dpa. Homogeneously distributed clusters enriched in Cr, P, Si and Ni are shown to format 300 degrees C and 420 degrees C but not at 100 degrees C. Study of the evolution of the segregation intensities of Cr, Si and P in the clusters with temperature under ion irradiation indicates that they form by a radiation induced mechanism. No alpha' clusters were observed whatever the irradiation temperature whereas they were observed in the same alloys after neutron irradiation at 300 degrees C at 0.6 dpa. Comparison of the solute cluster composition after ion irradiation and neutron irradiation, suggests that P atoms could play an important role in the appearance of the solute clusters by stabilizing point defect clusters that could later be enriched in Ni, Si and Cr.
