In situ neutron diffraction loading experiments were carried out on a cold-rolled dual-phase
(α-phase,∼ 10% β-phase) Zr–2.5% Nb alloy at room temperature. The specimens were cut …

A series of in situ compression tests has been carried out at room temperature for three dual-
phase Zr–Nb alloys with different Nb contents. Changes in the Nb content change the …

The deformation mechanisms were studied in metastable Zr-13.8 Nb-0.7 Hf and Zr-15.5 Nb-
0.7 Hf (wt.%) alloys exhibiting complex microstructures due to quenched-in precipitates …

Two types, A and B, of Zr–2.5 Nb samples were subjected to compression tests. Both
samples consisted of similar microstructure–hexagonal closed packed (hcp) α phase (the …

The formation of duplex microstructure in Zr–2.3 Nb alloys at a temperature range of 850–
925° C, its plastic behaviour at various strain rates and the accommodation of each phase in …

In situ neutron diffraction experiments during tension-compression deformation were
performed on five Fe–Cr–Ni alloys with the volume fraction of ferrite (a) ranging from 0.0 to …

Zr–1Nb alloy uniaxially compressed at room temperature at 10− 2 and 10 3 s− 1 exhibited
twinning and a three-stage strain-hardening behavior. At 10 3 s− 1 the twin fraction initially …

In the present study, two distinct starting microstructures of Zr–2.5 wt% Nb have been
used:(1) single-phase α hcp martensitic structure; and (2) two-phase, 10% bcc β and rest …

Abstract A 50%-rolled Zr-2.5 Nb alloy sheet was annealed in lower (700° C) and upper
(800° C) α-Zr+ β-Zr dual-phase regions, respectively, followed by water quenching …

Deformation modes (slip and twining) in a strongly textured model hcp alloy system (Zr–Sn)
have been investigated using in-situ neutron diffraction and deformation along with …
