Ultrasonic, Metallographic and Photo Acoustic Studies on Zircaloy-2

Abstract:

The nuclear material, Zircaloy-2 is studied here by photoacoustics and the results are correlated with ultrasonic measurements and metallographic microstructures. Precipitation of hard intermetalics and formation of α-martensite, due to thermal aging are also explained through photoacoustic studies.
