“…No sharp elastic modulus increase is observed at the matrix blister interface. This indicates the elastic modulus value is similar for unhydrided and highly-hydrided zirconium until the α + δ → δ transition, thus supporting the elasticity modulus reported by Puls et al [65] but not the one of Yamanaka et al [31].…”

“…The elastic modulus was measured by three unloading phases during the indentation process. The Poisson ratio was fixed to 0.3 for both δ-hydride and zirconium (close to the 0.32 Poisson ratio found by Yamanaka et al [31] for both the δ-hydride and zirconium).…”

This article is focused on the formation of hydride blisters in zirconium alloys an experimental and theoritical standpoint, and their characterization in terms of morphology, hydrides crystallographic phases, hardness and hydrogen concentration. An experimental setup was developed to grow hydride blisters on pre-hydrided Zircaloy-4 cladding tubes by thermo-diffusion. The thermal conditions were optimized based on thermo-diffusion calculations, that take into account the hysteresis in the hydrogen solubility limit, to obtain a high blister growth rate. Micro X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), nano-hardness and Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA) showed that the blisters contain a hydrogen gradient, with pure δ-hydride phase close to the external surface over one third of the blister depth. thermo-diffusion * Tel.: +33 1 69 08 39 43; e-mail: arthur.hellouin-de-menibus@cea.fr 1 calculations showed these half thickness blisters should grow in only a few days in PWR conditions. Eventually, the Diffusion Equilibrium Threshold (DET) was defined as a criterion that limits the blister growth, and emphasizes that the hysteresis in the hydrogen solubility limit in zirconium must be taken into account to model hydrogen thermo-diffusion in zirconium alloys.

“…The linear thermal expansion coefficient of δ-phase ZrH x in the 25-300°C temperature range varies between 6.7×10 -6 and 10.0×10 -6 1/°C [Yamanaka et al 1999]. The melting point of zirconium hydride was estimated by Pinchuck et al [1976] at 1882±75°C, i.e., somewhat higher than that of pure zirconium.…”

Abstract:The mechanical properties of the hydrogenated zirconium alloy Zr-1Nb are studied under different conditions for hydrogen removal by an electron beam and thermal heating. The mechanical testing of zirconium samples is analyzed during hydrogenation and irradiation with a low energy electron beam. The plasticity of the samples is shown to be increased during the radiation stimulation of hydrogen removal from zirconium by even a weak electron beam. In this case, the tensile strength (ultimate strength) is practically not changed.
