RESEARCH DESIGNED TO EVALUATE Zr-2.5Nb AND Zr-2.5Nb-0.5Cu ALLOYS FOR DELAYED FAILURE HYDRIDE SUSCEPTIBILITY. Quarterly Report No. 1, October 15, 1962-January 14, 1963

The purpose of this program is to determine the extent to which Zr-2.5Nb and Zr-2.5Nb --0.5Cu exhibit delayed failure (static fatigue) under various conditions of hydrogen content, heat treatment, and ambient temperature. Specimens are hydrogenated to 200 ppm or 500 ppm by means of a modified Sieverts apparatus, heat treated or cold reduced, and then evaluated in dynamic tensile and delayed failure tests under a certain set of conditions. At the present time, data are insufficient to form any conclusions regarding static fatigue behavior of these alloys. (auth)
