In this work, the self-ion irradiation behavior of nanocrystalline copper-tantalum alloys was investigated. In particular, the microstructural evolution of Cu-3at.%Ta and Cu-10at.%Ta was evaluated under the fluence of 2 × 1017ions/cm2of 4 MeV Cu-ions at different temperatures. Results revealed that despite the ability of Cu-10Ta to reprecipitate new nanoclusters and thereby increase the sink density by ∼17%, it undergoes significant microstructural evolution. On the other hand, Cu-3Ta exhibits a relatively more stable microstructural response and 3.5 times less swelling over the same conditions. This result illustrates the premise that irradiation and deformation may be coupled to stabilize/rejuvenate Ta-nanoclusters in extreme-environments.
