Mechanisms for the in-reactor creep of Zirconium alloys

G.B. Pieroy
- 01 Apr 1968 - 
- Vol. 26, Iss: 1, pp 18-50
TLDR
In this article, the creep rate of cold-worked Zircaloy is due to dislocation climb caused by the supersaturation of vacancies and interstitials introduced by irradiation.

A proposed method of calculating displacement dose rates

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple procedure is proposed for calculating the number of atomic displacements produced in a damage cascade by a primary knock-on atom of known energy, which is in close accord with recent computer simulations of radiation damage phenomena.

Hydride precipitates in zirconium alloys (A review)

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical appearance of the room temperature hydride phase in zirconium alloys is described, with particular reference to the orientation of the hydrate platelets relative to specified reference directions.

In-reactor deformation of cold-worked Zr–2.5Nb pressure tubes

TL;DR: A review of the current state of knowledge of the in-reactor deformation of cold-worked Zr-2.5Nb pressure tubes can be found in this article.

Point defect diffusion in α-Zr

TL;DR: In this article, a review of defects in α-Zr is concerned with atomic and vacancy diffusion and with solute effects on radiation damage, both in a general context and in terms of problems and features more specifically associated with αZr, including the anisotropic crystal structure, the limited temperature interval of α-phase stability, imposed by the α-β (hcp-bcc) transformation, and the tendency for Zr to have high residual impurity levels.

Review of Deformation Mechanisms, Texture, and Mechanical Anisotropy in Zirconium and Zirconium Base Alloys

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between deformation mechanisms and texture formation in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals is discussed and their dependencies on the metal-specific parameters of the hexagonal structure.

Dislocation energies in anisotropic crystals

A.J.E Foreman
- 01 Jul 1955 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed calculation of the elastic energy of a straight dislocation in a cubic or hexagonal crystal, for various orientations in the crystal of the dislocation line and its Burgers vector, is made.

The Activation Energy of Dislocation Movement

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the thermodynamic quantities which enter into the rate equation for a dislocation moving by thermal activation under external and internal stresses is made, showing that back fluctuations are generally negligible.
