Temperature-dependent axial mechanical properties of Zircaloy-4 with various hydrogen amounts and hydride orientations

The effects of hydride amount (20–850 wppm), orientation (circumferential and radial), and temperature (room temperature, 100 °C, 200 °C) on the axial mechanical properties of Zircaloy-4 cladding were comprehensively examined. The fraction of radial hydride fraction in the cladding was quantified us...
