Abstract

In this report, we present a thermodynamic-based model of hydride precipitation in Zr-based claddings. The model considers the state of the cladding immediately following drying, after removal from cooling-pools, and presents the evolution of precipitate formation upon cooling as follows: The pilgering process used to form Zr-based cladding imparts strong crystallographic and grain shape texture, with the basal plane of the hexagonal α-Zr grains being strongly aligned in the rolling-direction and the grains are elongated with grain size being approximately twice as long parallel to the rolling direction, which is also the long axis of the tubular cladding, as it is in the orthogonal directions.

Re-orientation spectroscopy of stored ions. Final report, May 1969--May 1974

Technical Report Dehmelt, H.G.

The results of a program of research in the rf spectroscopy of stored ions are described. Work has been done on the study of magnetic resonance and hfs of H/sub 2//sup +/. Techniques for measuring the temperature of ion gases and their radiative cooling have been developed. Continuous observation of a single electron oscillating with an energy of approximately equal or + (1/100)eV inside a penning trap has been realized, 'Monoelectron Oscillator'. A new principle of forced radial shrinking of stored ion clouds by simulataneous cyclotron excitation and axial damping has been proposed which may be of use in themore » confinement of fusion plasmas.

Phase changes in the niobium-hydrogen system. I. Accommodation effects during hydride precipitation. Technical report

Technical Report Makenas, B.J. ; Birnbaum, H.K.

The accommodation effects which accompany hydride precipitation were studied in the Nb-H system using T.E.M. Elastic accommodation and punching of prismatic dislocation loops in the solid solution matrix were observed on precipitation. The reversibility of the plastic accommodation processes was studied. Dislocation generation and motion in the hydride was observed during reversion. These observations were related to the volume changes due to hydride formation and to the thermodynamics of the phase change. Direct evidence for the inhibition of hydride precipitation due to trapping at O and N interstitials is presented.
Sodium hydride precipitation in sodium cold traps

Technical Report McPheeters, C.C. ; Raue, D.J.

A series of experiments have been performed to test a calculational model for precipitation of NaH in sodium cold traps. The calculational model, called ACTMODEL, is a computer simulation that uses the system geometry and operating conditions as input to calculate a mass-transfer coefficient and the distribution of NaH in a cold trap. The ACTMODEL was tested using an analytical cold trap (ACT) that is simple and essentially one-dimensional. The ACT flow and temperature profile can be controlled at any desired condition. The ACT was analyzed destructively after each test to measure the actual NaH distribution. Excellent agreement was obtainedmore »« less

Hydride precipitation in Nb and some properties of NbH. Technical report

Technical Report Birnbaum, H.K. ; Grossbeck, M.L. ; Amano, M.

The precipitation of the beta phase hydride from the solid solution has been studied using a variety of techniques including T.E.M., S.E.M., internal friction and resistivity methods. The effects of accommodation of the volume change which accompanies the beta phase precipitation is examined. A discussion of the solute effects on the alpha-beta solvus is presented. Stress effects on the alpha-beta solvus is discussed. In addition, some of the properties of the beta phase hydride is described. (GRA)
