OSTI ID:4185420
The distribution of Fe in Zr alloy with 0.15 wt. %Fe and in Zircaloy with 1.1 wt. % 8n, 0.1 wt. % Fe, 0.1 wt. % Cr, and 0.05 wt. % Ni was studied by contact autoradiography. The radiation intensities of the specimens were 5000 to 10,000 pulse/min cm/sup 2/. After various thermal treatments the distribution of iron remained irregular. In cast alloys most of the iron was found at the boundaries of the alpha - beta phase transformation; after 5 to 10% cold deformation the picture remained un;.tered. Annealing Zr with Fe at 600 ction prod- C for 20 hours and at 500 ction prod- C for 40 hours after quenching at 1200 and 900 ction prod- C produced no change in the irregular distribution. The process of iron redistribution in Zircaloy was slower due to the presence of Cr and Ni. (R.V.J.)
