Studies of the effects of ion bombardment on the phase equilibria and ordering of FeNi alloys with 30.6 and 39.5 at. % Ni were performed. The FeNi samples were bombarded with Ne, Ar, and Kr at different doses and temperatures, and analyzed using the conversion electron MSssbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) technique with 57Fe. The changes in the CEMS spectra of Pe69.$Ii30.6 and Fe 6D.5Ni39.5 alloys, bombarded with Ne and Ar, indicate a phase separation, but no evidence of ordering. The Kr bombardment

Our results give strong evidences of a prevalence of displacement mixing for bombardment with heavier ions, and of radiation enhanced diffusion for bombardment with lighter ions. 131
