TL;DR: In this article, a 3D study of the microstructure and texture below a conical nanoindent in a (1 1 1) Cu single crystal at nanometer-scale resolution was conducted using a joint high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy/electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) set-up coupled with serial sectioning in a focused ion beam system in the form of a cross-beam 3D crystal orientation microscope.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of reoriented hydrides on the tensile properties of the Zr-2.5 wt% Nb pressure tube alloy was evaluated in the temperature range of 298-573 K.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study of methods used for evaluation of mechanical properties of materials using miniature and sub-size tensile test specimens is presented, which can be useful for life estimation of any in-service equipment and for development of new materials.

TL;DR: A plethora of investigations on hydrogen embrittlement has already been reported in the literature as discussed by the authors, however, the results of these investigations are highly scattered with contradictory outcomes, and the present article attempts to succinctly summarize relevant research works in order to develop simplistic and coherent understanding of this complex phenomenon, apart from highlighting the thrust areas which require further investigations.

TL;DR: In this article, the terminal solid solubility (TSS) of hydrogen for Zr-alloy pressure tube materials was determined corresponding to end of hydride dissolution (TSSD) and start of hydrogen precipitation (TSSP) using the dilatometry technique.
