Hydrides in zirconium: microstructure and micromechanics
- Abstract:
-
Zirconium alloys has been extensively used as the commercial cladding and structural materials in water cooled nuclear reactors in the last half century. Nevertheless, the formation of brittle hydrides due to the aqueous corrosion in operation will significantly degrade the performance of the zirconium claddings and limit their lifetime. The volume expansion in the zirconium to hydride transformation makes it more complicated. In order to further clarify the mechanism of hydride-induced de...
