The dilatational misfit of zirconium hydrides precipitated in zirconium

Journal Article · · Journal of Nuclear Materials
The unconstrained misfit strains, delta STAuvtw!, associated with the formation of zirconium hydride precipitates in zirconium were calculated with respect to directions STAuvtw! Zr. Both the delta -hydride, (normally produced by slow cooling) and the gamma -hydride (formed after fast cooling) are considered. Results are shown to be seifconsistent and predict the correct volume change caused by the transformation. (auth)
