This work demonstrates and explains how, during the hot deformation of a Zr alloy in the two-
phase field, the texture developed in the α phase is influenced by that developed in the β …

The fracture behavior of Zr-2.5 Nb pressure tube (PT) material containing radial hydrides
with hydrogen concentrations between 30 and 300wppm was evaluated between 25 and …

Nanolayered, bimetallic composites are receiving increased attention due to an exceptional
combination of strength and thermal stability not possible from their coarse-layered …

In the present study, Zr-2.5 wt.% Nb alloy plates of thickness 4 mm have been welded using
pulsed Nd: YAG laser system at different process parameters and characterized in terms of …

Abstract Indian Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (IPHWRs) uses Zr-2.5 Nb alloy pressure
tube (PT) in cold work and stress relieved condition. These PTs are subjected to extreme …

Present study explains the micromechanics of superplastic deformation of Zr-2.5 wt.% Nb
alloy using EBSD analysis. The alloy when deformed in tension at 700° C and 10− 3 s− 1 …

The in-service properties and performance of dual-phase Zr and Ti alloys depend on their
crystallographic texture, which develops during hot-working and is affected by interactions …

The properties and performance of Zr-2.5 Nb alloys are strongly influenced by their
crystallographic texture. As in similar Ti alloys, the texture evolution during hot-processing …

Abstract Pressure tubes of Zr-2.5 Nb alloy in Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors experience
low cycle fatigue (LCF) due to cooling water flow and power fluctuations, which could be a …

Interface-dominate properties can be strengthened when the interface spacing is further
reduced to nanoscale dimensions. To analyze the dominant deformation modes in α-Zr …
