Title: Investigations of deformation-induced δ → ζ phase transformation in zirconium hydride by in situ high-energy X-ray diffraction

Abstract

Here in situ high-energy X-ray diffraction (HE-XRD) was used to study the micromechanical behavior of Zircaloy-4 during tensile loading, revealing for the first time a deformation-induced phase transformation from δ-hydride to ζ-Zr₂H in the hydride at a critical stress of approximately 370 MPa.

Temperature-dependent micromechanical behavior of medium-Mn transformation-induced-plasticity steel studied by in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction

Journal Article Zhang, Minghe ; Li, Longfei ; Ding, Jie ; ... - Acta Materialia

The temperature-dependent micromechanical behavior of medium-Mn transformation-induced-plasticity (TRIP) steel with a nominal chemical composition of Fe-0.1C-10Mn-2Al (mass%) fabricated by intercritical annealing 650 ºC for 1 h after cold-rolling, was investigated using in situ high-energy X-ray diffraction (HE-XRD) with uniaxial tensile tests at temperatures of 100, 25 and -50 ºC. We find that as the deformation temperature decreases, the Luders strain decreases and more austenite transforms to martensite during Luders band propagation. The Luders bands are associated with sudden changes of lattice strain in austenite. At 100 ºC, austenite is too stable to transform to martensite, resulting in limited work-hardening capabilitymore »« less

In situ synchrotron high-energy X-ray diffraction study of microscopic deformation behavior of a hard-soft dual phase composite containing phase transforming matrix

Journal Article Zhang, Junsong ; Hao, Shijie ; Jiang, Daqiang ; ... - Acta Materialia

This study explored a novel intermetallic composite design concept based on the principle of lattice strain matching enabled by the collective atomic load transfer. It investigated the hard-soft microscopic deformation behavior of a Ti3Sn/TiNi eutectic hard-soft dual phase composite by means of in situ synchrotron high-energy X-ray diffraction (HE-XRD) during compression. The composite provides a unique micromechanical system with distinctive deformation behaviors and mechanisms from the two components, with the soft TiNi matrix deforming in full compliance via martensite variant reorientation and the hard Ti3Sn lamellae deforming predominantly by rigid body rotation, producing a crystallographic texture for the TiNi matrixmore »« less

A phase-field model for hydride formation in polycrystalline metals: Application to δ-hydride in zirconium alloys

Journal Article Heo, Tae Wook ; Colas, Kimberly B. ; Motta, Arthur T. ; ... - Acta Materialia

We report a phase-field model for simulating metal hydride formation involving large volume expansion in single- and polycrystals. As an example, we consider δ-hydride formation in α-zirconium (Zr), which involves both displacive crystallographic structural change and hydrogen diffusion process. Thermodynamic Gibbs energy functions are extracted from the available thermodynamic database based on the sublattice model for the interstitial solid solutions. Solute-grain boundary interactions and inhomogeneous elasticity of polycrystals are taken into consideration within the context of diffuse-interface description. The stress-free transformation strains of multiple variants for hcp-Zr (α) to fcc-hydride (δ) transformation are derived based on the well-established orientation relationshipmore »« less

Phase-field modeling of stacking structure formation and transition of δ-hydride precipitates in zirconium

Journal Article Han, G. M. ; Zhao, Y. F. ; Zhou, C. B. ; ... - Acta Materialia

d-hydride structures in Zr nuclear fuel-rod cladding significantly affect mechanical properties. In this work, a micromechanical phase-field model is developed to investigate the effect of interfacial energy anisotropy and elastic interaction on the nucleation, stacking structure formation, and stacking structure transition of d-hydride precipitates. It is found that the nucleation probability and growth of d-hydride near pre-existing hydrides are strongly spatially dependent. Results show that (1) the d-hydride precipitate has a platelet-like shape. The large shear deformation associated with lattice mismatches and a small interfacial energy of its broad interface cause the orientation of the plate-like d-hydride off the basalmore »« less
