Evidence of hydrogen trapping at second phase particles in zirconium alloys [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Zirconium alloys are used in safety–critical roles in the nuclear industry and their degradation due to ingress of hydrogen in service is a concern. In this work experimental evidence, supported by density functional theory modelling, shows that the α-Zr

Effects of ion irradiation on microstructure and properties of zirconium alloys—A review
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2015 Zirconium alloys are widely used in nuclear reactors as structural materials. During the operation, they are exposed to fast neutrons. Ion irradiation is used to simulate the damage introduced by neutron irradiation.

OXIDATION OF ZIRCONIUM AND ZIRCONIUM ALLOYS [PDF]
Journal of The Electrochemical Society, 1959 Zirconium oxidation was investigaied in the temperature range 400 io 900 deg C at oxygen pressures of 50, 200, and 800 mm. The reaction rate of massive (parallelepiped) samples was best expressed by the cubic rate law. At an oxygen pressure of 200 mm the activation energy was calculated to be 42.7 kcal per mole, and the cubic rate constant in ( mu g ...

Effect of Zr on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of the Al–Cu–Yb and Al–Cu–Gd Alloys
Metals, 2022 The effect of zirconium on the microstructure, phase composition, and mechanical properties of AlCuYb and AlCuGd alloys was studied. The microstructure of the as-cast alloys did not consist of new intermetallic phases of zirconium with other elements, so

Aluminium/zirconium alloys obtained by Al underpotential deposition onto Zr from low temperature AlCl3+NaCl molten salts [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2019 Contrary to the widely accepted hypothesis that it is not possible, aluminium underpotential deposition (UPD) onto zirconium from a low temperature (200, 250 and 300°C) equimolar chloroaluminate melt was recorded.
