Abstract:The paper researches into the effect of the initial structural condition of Zr-2.5%Nb alloy, which is widely used in reactor engineering to manufacture reactor core components (mainly as a structural material for RBMK and CANDU pressure tubes), and of irradiation conditions (temperature, applied stress) on irradiation hardening and embrittlement. The reactor damage of Zr-2.5%Nb alloy was modeled with a method of high-energy 225 MeV (e,γ)-beam irradiation, which allows samples to be irradiated under strictly co… Show more
