The fabrication of bulk delta-phase Zirconium Hydride (δ-ZrH x) using Zircaloy-4 as a
precursor is herein reported. Characterization using electron-microscopy methods indicate …

The surface composition and microstructure of an up to 5 µm thick multilayer on a knee
implant were investigated. When the implant was explanted after approximately two years of …

We use atomistic simulations to study the structure and shape of niobium precipitates with a
body-centered cubic crystallographic structure in a zirconium matrix with a hexagonal close …

To understand the microstructural changes in Nb-doped zirconium alloy cladding at high
irradiation doses, the Mitsubishi Developed Alloy (MDA) cladding was ion-irradiated up to …

As the most optimal possible solution, it is considered the surface modification of zirconium
alloys by the development of chromium coatings. Such coatings provide an increased …

The accurate chemical composition of second phase particles (SPPs) and solute
distributions at grain boundaries and interfaces are still to be fully known for Optimised …

Protons are increasingly used as a surrogate for neutrons to study radiation damage of
engineering alloys used in the core of a nuclear reactor, enabling high fluences in …
