SUMMARY Zone‐refined aluminium and dilute alloys with silicon and indium have been irradiated inside a high voltage electron microscope. Interstitial dislocation loops nucleated and grew in all samples, but no voids could be observed. The precipitation of silicon was observed during irradiation. The effect of alloying on the loop growth rate is discussed.
