Three model ODS alloys (Fe–0.3Y2O3, Fe–0.2Ti–0.3Y2O3and Fe–14Cr–0.2Ti–0.3Y2O3) were prepared by ball milling and then hot extrusion to study the effect of Ti and Cr on the size, distribution, crystal structure and composition of the nano-oxide particles. All alloys were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), atom probe tomography (APT) and synchrotron-X-ray diffraction (S-XRD) to determine the distribution, structure and composition of the oxide nanoparticles samples. The median particle sizes were 9.6 nm, 7.7 nm and 3.7 nm for the Fe–Y2O3, Fe–Ti–Y2O3and Fe–Cr–Ti–Y2O3alloys, respectively, so the presence of Ti resulted in a significant reduction in oxide particle diameter and the addition of Cr gave a further reduction in size. In the Fe–0.3Y2O3alloy, the particles are found to be bcc Y2O3, whereas in the other two alloys (Fe–Ti–0.3Y2O3and Fe–Cr–Ti–Y2O3), the oxide particles were found to be structurally consistent with both orthorhombic Y2TiO5and fcc Y2Ti2O7. Detailed APT studies showed Cr shells around oxide particles of all sizes in the Fe–Cr–Ti–Y2O3alloy, that a range of cluster compositions are present and that the particle chemistry varies with cluster size. We show that the addition of Cr has a strong effect on both the size and stoichiometry of the particles.
