A platelet form of zirconium hydride was found in zircorium and Zr-1 wt.% U single crystals containing hydrogen in the range of 50 to 100 ppm. The habit planes for the hydride platelets in the zirconium crystals were found to be {1 01-bar2}, {1 1 2-bar1}, and{l 1 2-bar2} while the habit planes in the Zr-i wt.% U crystals were {112-bar1}, {112-bar3}, and {123-bar1}. With the exception of the {123-bar1} plane, these were identified as the twin planes in zirconium. The different effect of hydride on the mechanical properties of zirconium at high and low strain rates was explained in terms of the deformation mechanism and the habit planes of the hydride. (auth)
