The microstructure of the zirconium modified and non-modified aluminide coatings was examined by the EDS, XRD, TEM and the positron annihilation spectroscopy methods. Both coatings have a double layer structure: β-NiAl phase on the top and γ′-Ni3Al below. Small zirconium nanoparticles were found along grain boundaries in the β-NiAl phase. The positron lifetime in both coatings is the same. The formation of zirconium precipitates neither affects, the number of defects nor the volume diffusion. Zirconium nanoparticles that precipitate along grain boundaries stand against the outward diffusion of Al ions through the coating to the coating/oxygen interface. This “blocking effect” may be responsible for the reduction of the alumina scale growth rate and may delay pore formation on the coating/oxygen interface.

The implantation profile of positrons emitted from 22Na into a stack of aluminum and silver foils is the subject of the presented report. The characteristic dimple in the profile behind the Ag foil was detected. This effect arises from the differences in the linear absorption coefficient of aluminum and silver. The good agreement between the theoretical profile obtained within the multiscattering model and experimental one was achieved. The observed phenomenon can affect the positron annihilation characteristics measured for the inhomogeneous samples.

Isochronal and isothermal annealing of stainless steel 1.4307 samples deformed by compression were investigated using Doppler broadening measurements of the annihilation line. We made an attempt to describe the obtained dependencies in terms of vacancy migration and sinking to the grain boundaries. The model assumed spherical grains with a homogeneous initial distribution of vacancies. The model was capable of following the isochronal annealing data quite accurately. However, the obtained activation energy of vacancy migration equal to 0.44 plus or minus 0.05 eV seemed too low. The isothermal annealing dependency was reproduced less precisely. The reason for this may be the presence of the alfa'-martensite particles in the samples, which can introduce additional defects seen by positrons in the temperature range in which the martensite reversion takes place.
