Room temperature focused ion beam (FIB) milling is known to potentially promote the
formation of hydrides in zirconium and its alloys. We used atom probe tomography (APT) to …

Irradiation defects are known to impede the dislocation motion in irradiated reactor pressure
vessel (RPV) steels. However, consistent experimental studies of the respective irradiation …

Introducing minor alloying elements is an effective strategy to improve the corrosion and
mechanical properties of zirconium alloys for nuclear applications. During in-reactor service …

Atom probe tomography was used in this work to study the metal close to the metal/oxide
interface in the zirconium alloy Zircaloy-2 exposed to three and nine annual cycles of …

Abstract Studying Zr (Cr, Fe) 2 Laves phase oxidation is vital for deepening our
understanding of the oxidation mechanism of accident tolerant fuel (ATF) Cr-coated Zr and …

In the present study, atom probe tomography was used to investigate the relationship
between the distribution of Fe and other alloying elements and irradiation defects in …

High-burnup Zr-based nuclear fuel claddings exhibit accelerated irradiation growth,
corrosion and hydrogen pick-up, all correlated with the emergence of c-component …

This work indicates that the matrix content of the alloying elements iron, chromium, and
nickel in as-produced commercial Zircaloy-2-type materials is lower than what has been …

Bonding the Zr-4 alloy in the high temperature can lead to many problems, for example grain
coarsening and large welding deformation resulting from high residual stresses …

The formation mechanism of (01 1¯ 1) C14 pyramidal stacking faults (SFs) with a 8.6°
deflection to the SFs on (11 1¯) C15 planes of Zr (Fe, Cr) 2 secondary phase particle (SPP) …
