Structural characterization of Zircaloy-4 subjected to helium ions irradiation of variable fluence
Zircaloy-4 is widely used as structural material for the fuel cladding of nuclear reactors due to its low neutron absorption cross-section, excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical stability under neutron irradiation. In nuclear reactors, helium ions (He+) are produced during (n, α) reacti...
