Abstract

Internal friction characteristics and temperature dependence of the torsion modulus for iodide zirconium containing 2.4 pet Hf were investigated, using a low frequency pendulum technique. The internal friction curve consists of a background which in-creases as the temperature increases, a maximum at 860°C apparently due to the al-lotropie transformation, a maximum due to grain boundary relaxation with an associated heat of activation of 58,000 cai per mol, and an anomaly below 350°C which may be associated with a precipitation phenomenon. Oxygen in small amounts reduces the grain boundary maximum substantially. The variation of the torsion modulus at 20°C was found to be 3450 Kg per mm2 for the zirconium used in the present work.
