Radiation-Induced Phase Transformations in Zirconium Alloys under Long-Term Irradiation

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Abstract

Variation of the phase composition and structure of zirconium alloys É125 and É635 under the action of irradiation is studied by the methods of microscopic x-ray energy dispersion analysis, radiographic analysis, and analytical transmission electron microscopy. Special features of phase transformations in the alloys under the action of long-term neutron irradiation at 290 – 315°C are analyzed.
