Zirconium alloys are susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement and hydride precipitation. The precipitation of hydrides is accompanied by a transformation strain, but the contribution of …
One of the main degradation mechanisms of the zirconium alloys used in nuclear reactors is hydrogen embrittlement and hydride formation. The formation of zirconium hydrides is …

Hydride precipitation in zirconium (Zr) alloys leads to the deterioration of mechanical properties in key components of nuclear reactors. However, the underlying mechanisms …
A surface nanocrystalline steel layer in the low alloy steel 41Cr4 was fabricated by using mechanical-pulse treatment (MPT) with different deformation modes. The structure …
In this paper, we present concurrent atomistic-continuum (CAC) simulations of the hydrogen (H) diffusion along a grain boundary (GB), nearby which a large population of dislocations …
This paper presents a mesoscale concurrent atomistic–continuum (CAC) simulation of crack initiation at the atomically structured grain boundaries (GBs) in bi-crystalline BCC iron (α-Fe) …
Engineering components are often exposed to various cyclic loading conditions. The development of microscale stresses under such conditions depends on the material texture …
