Gill, J J

The tensile properties of zirconium hydrided to 1000 ppm with hydrogen were measured between room temperature and 1200 deg F. Up to 800 deg F the presence of these quantities of hydrogen does not affect the ultimate and yield strengths. The ultimate strength appears to be reduced by the addition of 1000 ppm hydrogen at 1000 deg F and above. The duc tility as measured by reduction in area and total elongation is reduced at room temperature by hydriding. Above 250 deg F the duetility is unaffected by the presence of up to 1000 ppm hydrogen. (auth)
