MICROSTRUCTURAL EVOLUTION IN ZR AND ZR ALLOY EXCEL UNDER ION IRRADIATION

Zirconium and its alloys have been used extensively in both light and heavy water reactors where neutron irradiation is known to cause microstructural evolution, leading to degradation of mechanical properties and dimensional instabilities. Dimensional instabilities due to irradiation growth are par...
