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 situ phase transformation experiments have been carried out using neutron diffraction to
monitor the texture evolution during the α→ β→ α phase transformation in a common …

The role of starting texture in variant selection has been studied during α→ β→ α
transformation in Ti–6Al–4V. By hot rolling at different temperatures followed by …

A potential factor dominating the obstacle strength of second phase precipitate particles in
dispersion strengthening is the crystallographic mismatch between the matrix phase and the …

A study on the effect of matrix yield strength on precipitation of hydride phases in zirconium
alloys is presented. X-ray diffraction measurements from the National Synchrotron Light …

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 …

This study investigates the impact of different processing steps on the crystallographic
texture evolution of αZr and minority phases βZr and ωZr, and intergranular stresses as a …

In a CANDU reactor, the fuel bundles and primary coolant are contained within Zr–2.5 Nb
pressure tubes that are approximately 6.3 m in length, have an internal diameter of 104mm …

In order to control the quenching process and provide uniform quenching, wetting of the
specimen with the quenching medium is very important since this will provide equable heat …

In the present study, in situ phase transformation experiments have been carried out using
neutron diffraction to monitor the texture evolution during the α→ β→ α phase transformation …
