Book The Effect of Hydrogen and Hydrides on the Integrity of Zirconium Alloy Components

Download or read book The Effect of Hydrogen and Hydrides on the Integrity of Zirconium Alloy Components written by Manfred P. Puls and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-04 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By drawing together the current theoretical and experimental understanding of the phenomena of delayed hydride cracking (DHC) in zirconium alloys, The Effect of Hydrogen and Hydrides on the Integrity of Zirconium Alloy Components: Delayed Hydride Cracking provides a detailed explanation focusing on the properties of hydrogen and hydrides in these alloys. Whilst the emphasis lies on zirconium alloys, the combination of both the empirical and mechanistic approaches creates a solid understanding that can also be applied to other hydride forming metals. This up-to-date reference focuses on documented research surrounding DHC, including current methodologies for design and assessment of the results of periodic in-service inspections of pressure tubes in nuclear reactors. Emphasis is placed on showing how our understanding of DHC is supported by progress in general understanding of such broad fields as the study of hysteresis associated with first order phase transformations, phase relationships in coherent crystalline metallic solids, the physics of point and line defects, diffusion of substitutional and interstitial atoms in crystalline solids, and continuum fracture and solid mechanics. Furthermore, an account of current methodologies is given illustrating how such understanding of hydrogen, hydrides and DHC in zirconium alloys underpins these methodologies for assessments of real life cases in the Canadian nuclear industry. The all-encompassing approach makes The Effect of Hydrogen and Hydrides on the Integrity of Zirconium Alloy Component: Delayed Hydride Cracking an ideal reference source for students, researchers and industry professionals alike.

Book A Laboratory Method to Predict Hydriding Properties of Zirconium Alloys Under Irradiation

Download or read book A Laboratory Method to Predict Hydriding Properties of Zirconium Alloys Under Irradiation written by FS. Gerber and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A corrosion and hydriding test series on zirconium alloys in the Engineering Test Reactor G-7 loop demonstrated relatively large lot-to-lot and alloy-to-alloy differences in hydriding rates under irradiation. Similar differences were also found among irradiated Zircaloy-2 pressure tubes fabricated by three suppliers for the Hanford Site N Reactor. This substantial in-reactor hydriding data base and access to archive materials from these same alloys permitted an investigation of methods to reproduce the in-reactor hydriding orders-of-merit by an out-of-reactor method.

Book Irradiation Testing of Zirconium Alloys and Stainless Steel in Fast Breeder Test Reactor  India

Download or read book Irradiation Testing of Zirconium Alloys and Stainless Steel in Fast Breeder Test Reactor India written by S. Venugopal and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) at Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam, India is a sodium cooled fast reactor with a maximum neutron flux of about 3 x 1015 n/cm2/s. The neutron spectrum in the FBTR is hard and the damage rate attained in structural specimens is high. Compact pressurized capsules of zirconium alloys have been developed and subjected to irradiation in the FBTR to a fluence level of 1.1 x 1021 n/cm2 (E >1 MeV) at temperatures of 306 to 319°C to determine the irradiation creep rate of indigenously developed zirconium alloys (Zircaloy-2 and Zr-2.5%Nb alloy). To assess the changes in mechanical properties of FBTR grid plate material (modified type 316 stainless steel) due to prolonged low dose exposure, an accelerated irradiation test with dose levels up to 2.6 dpa (at 350°C) has also been carried out using miniature tensile test and disk specimens. Postirradiation examination (PIE) measurements carried out in the hot cells determined the creep rate of zirconium alloys, and indicated that the grid plate material has hardened but has still enough residual ductility. This paper presents salient features of the design and implementation of these irradiation experiments in FBTR and the results obtained during PIE.

Book Carbon Fibers

Download or read book Carbon Fibers written by Soo-Jin Park and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains eight chapters that discuss the manufacturing methods, surface treatment, composite interfaces, microstructure-property relationships with underlying fundamental physical and mechanical principles, and applications of carbon fibers and their composites. Recently, carbon-based materials have received much attention for their many potential applications. The carbon fibers are very strong, stiff, and lightweight, enabling the carbon materials to deliver improved performance in several applications such as aerospace, sports, automotive, wind energy, oil and gas, infrastructure, defense, and semiconductors. However, the use of carbon fibers in cost-sensitive, high-volume industrial applications is limited because of their relatively high costs. However, its production is expected to increase because of its widespread use in high-volume industrial applications; therefore, the methods used for manufacturing carbon fibers and carbon-fiber-reinforced composites and their structures and characteristics need to be investigated.
