INTERIM REPORT ON CREEP CHARACTERISTICS OF ZIRCALOY-2

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4261390
Annealed Zircaloy-2 exhibits very large primary creep strains. Primary creep appears to be sensitive to stress and largely insensitive to temperature. The primary creep deformation of Zircaloy-2 in the 15% cold-worked condition appears to be roughly half that observed in annealed Zircaloy-2. In cold-worked Zircaloy-2, primary creep appeara to be sensitive to both stress and temperature. At 750 deg F, 15% coldworked Zircaloy-2 appears to exhibit some recovery and annealing. At the lower temperatures, recovery appears to be minor. (auth)
