Dissolution and precipitation behavior of hydrides in Zircaloy-2 and high Fe Zircaloy
K. Une,S. Ishimoto +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the terminal solid solubility during the dissolution of hydrides at heatup (TSSD) and during the precipitation of hydides at cooldown (TSSP) for hydrogenated Zircaloy-2 and high Fe Ziraloy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements have been carried out in the temperature range of 50-600 °C.

The first step for delayed hydride cracking in zirconium alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, two models for delayed hydride cracking in zirconium alloys are distinguished by their first step: loading of a crack induces hydroxide precipitation.

Comments on the stability of zirconium hydride phases in Zircaloy
L. Lanzani,M. Ruch +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the hydride phases in these autoclaved Zircaloy-4 slabs was studied over a period of about 3 years, and the results are compared to those from other authors who worked with zirconium, Zirca-niobium alloys.

Terminal solubility and partitioning of hydrogen in the alpha phase of zirconium, zircaloy-2, and zircaloy-4.
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of alloy composition, grain size and cold work on the terminal solubility and thermodynamic activity of hydrogen in the alpha phase of zirconium, Zircaloy-2, and Zircaleroy-4 were determined by a diffusion sample method.

Use of the Piezoelectric Gauge for Internal Friction Measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, an auxiliary quartz crystal was added to the usual composite piezoelectric resonator, which simplifies the measurement procedure and permits the evaluation of amplitude dependent decrements over a wide range of strain amplitudes.

Effects of crack tip stress states and hydride-matrix interaction stresses on delayed hydride cracking
TL;DR: In this article, a model of slow crack propagation based on the delayed hydride cracking (DHC) mechanism was examined and evaluated to take account of recent experimental and theoretical advances in the understanding of hydrides fracture and terminal solid solubility (TSS).
