Mechanical Characterization of Zirconium Hydrides with High Energy X-Ray Diffraction

Mechanical Characterization of Zirconium Hydrides with High Energy X-Ray Diffraction

Zirconium and its alloys are of technical importance, finding application as a structural material in the nuclear industry. Engineering components fabricated from zirconium slowly pick-up hydrogen as a result of in-reactor corrosion, degrading the components mechanical properties as a brittle hydrid...
