Comparison of Mechanical Properties of Zr-1%Nb and Zr-2.5%Nb Alloys

The aim of the present study is to compare the mechanical properties of Zr-1%Nb and alloys, widely used in nuclear reactors. Several factors affect the microstructure of both materials. In this study, it is shown that hydrogen and radiation damage, as well as their interaction in the case of Zr-2.5%...

Description
Summary:The aim of the present study is to compare the mechanical properties of Zr-1%Nb and alloys, widely used in nuclear reactors. Several factors affect the microstructure of both materials. In this study, it is shown that hydrogen and radiation damage, as well as their interaction in the case of Zr-2.5%Nb, results in a decrease of the mechanical properties of both alloys.
