Structure Evolution of Zirconium Alloys during Deformation/Heat Treatment

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using transmission electron microscopy, x – ray diffraction analysis, tensile testing and fractography the changes were analyzed that occur in microstructure and tensile properties of E635 alloy annealed after quenching from b – region of phase diagram. The interrelation is demonstrated between microstructure and tensile properties depending on deformation/heat treatment conditions.
