Advances in Zr-Based Alloys

“…Similarly, the colors of the circles indicate the relevance of the keywords, with each color representing a different cluster that may represent a given research direction. According to the color clustering of the keywords in Figure 2 Mechanical properties are one of the basic performance requirements of Zr alloys as a structural material, and the alloying [21][22][23][24][25][26] and processing [21,[26][27][28]] (including rolling, heat treatment, etc.) of Zr are extremely effective methods for modulating the material's microstructure and improving its mechanical properties.…”

“…Al addition leads to grain size reduction and a Zr5Co7Al3 intermetallic precipitation, and the best combination of mechanical properties (UTS and UFS of 464 MPa and 3.4%, respectively) was achieved for Zr47.5Co47.5Al5 which demonstrated strong synergistic effects of fine grain strengthening, the solid-solution-strengthening of Al elements, and secondary-phase precipitation strengthening. Liu et al [30] improved the mechanical properties of the new Zr-Ti-8V alloy through hot-rolling and Mechanical properties are one of the basic performance requirements of Zr alloys as a structural material, and the alloying [21][22][23][24][25][26] and processing [21,[26][27][28] (including rolling, heat treatment, etc.) of Zr are extremely effective methods for modulating the material's microstructure and improving its mechanical properties.…”
