The asymmetric mechanical response and corresponding statistical grain-scale slip/twinning
activity for extruded Mg-(0~ 5 wt%) Y sheets during room-temperature uniaxial tension and …

Slip strengths of basal, prism, and pyramidal systems in commercially pure zirconium have
been determined using micro-cantilever testing. A range of single crystal cantilevers 0.5 μm …

In this work, we develop a physically-based crystal plasticity model for the prediction of cyclic
tension–compression deformation of multi-phase materials, specifically dual-phase (DP) …

Hydrogen embrittlement is an important degradation mechanism affecting the lifetime of
engineering components. The diffusion of hydrogen atoms into the metal lattice can be …

In present work, three dual-phase Mg–6Li–2Gd, Mg–7Li–2Gd and Mg–8Li–2Gd (wt.%)
alloys, with different morphology of β-Li and α-Mg phases, were fabricated by hot extrusion …

The presence of hydrogen atoms in the lattice of polycrystalline metals can lead to hydrogen
embrittlement. The diffusion of hydrogen atoms and formation of hydrides depend on several …

The growing demand for electric energy will require expansion of the amount of nuclear
power production in many countries of the world. Research and development in this field will …

In situ neutron diffraction has been carried out on fast neutron irradiated Zr–2.5 Nb pressure
tube and non-irradiated Zr–2.5 Nb pressure tube samples, with tensile deformation applied …

SiC ceramic was successfully brazed to Zircaloy-4 using Zr-24Ni (at.%) filler alloy for nuclear
application. The wetting behavior and interfacial reaction between the Zr-Ni filler and SiC …

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 …
