36 papers from the most significant body of technical literature on zirconium alloy properties. Sections include: Fabrication, Mechanical Properties, and ...
This publication provides information on the performance of zirconium and zirconium alloy components in nuclear application. Nuclear physicists have discovered that some materials -- zirconium, for example, provide much better neutron economy than conventional materials such as stainless ...
Discusses zirconium extraction and reduction to tubes; recent work on basic properties; fracture properties, including stress-corrosion cracking and hydrogen cracking; high-temperature properties; texture-related work with special interest in creep and growth; and waterside ...
45 papers present vitally important data on the behavior of zirconium alloys in nuclear reactor ...
Forty papers deal with properties of Zircaloy and to a lesser extent, Zr-2.5-Nb. The majority covers fabrication and physical properties, general corrosion and hydriding, fracture and fatigue, and stress corrosion cracking. Special consideration is given to irradiation growth, Zircaloy cladding behavior under conditions expected in a loss-of-coolant accident, and nodular ...
The monograph written by B. W. Marguglio is written in the concept of total quality. It is organized by project phase and is application to other high technology industries. It treats design, procurment, and ...
The Fourth International Conference on Zirconium in the Nuclear Industry was held 26-29 June 1978, in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. This conference was sponsored by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Committee B10 on Refractory Metals and Alloys in cooperation with the American Nuclear Society, the British ...

The latest in this popular series provides 44 peer-reviewed papers on the latest international research covering all aspects of zirconium alloy properties and performance relevant to the nuclear industry. Topics address:• All aspects of the fuel cycle• Basic metallurgy• Spent fuel• Corrosion• Mechanical properties• Deformations ...
Forty-one peer-reviewed papers cover all aspects of the fuel cycle. The Basic Metallurgy and Processing sections represent the beginning of the fuel cycle from component design and manufacture. The BWR Corrosion, PWR Corrosion, and Deformation Mechanism sections represent component performance under nominal service conditions. The Primary Failure Mechanism and the Transient and High ...
4 sections are devoted to various aspects of zirconium alloy corrosion: Hydrogen Effects; • Lithium Effects and Second-Phase Particles; • Oxide Characterization; • and In-Reactor Corrosion. The remaining sections include Pressure Tubes; Fabrication; and Mechanical ...
An absolute must for anyone in the nuclear industry. Twenty-nine papers cover irradiation creep and stress relaxation; simulation; and embrittlement of pressure vessel steels, as well as mechanical properties, microstructure and void ...
44 papers discuss the history, processing, use, and properties of Zirconium and its alloys. Nearly half are concerned with the corrosion and hydriding of different Zirconium alloys. The techniques used to characterize the oxides and their microstructures and properties have become very advanced. The industry, including producers and users, expects that the work will lead to important conclusions ...
This unique publication provides an international overview on the production and use of Zr alloys, their properties and behavior during nuclear service, the design of Zr components and their testing after service. Papers cover the historical aspects of research on Zr alloys; basic metallurgy, including studies of second phase particles; irradiation creep and growth; material performance during ...
From its inaugural meeting in Philadelphia in 1968, the ASTM Symposium on Zirconium in the Nuclear Industry has been the premiere vehicle for discussion and documentation of the scientific and technological bases for the utilization of zirconium-based alloys in water-cooled reactors. ...
The book contains recent results on the progress in high-energy physics, accelerator, detection and nuclear technologies, as well as nuclear safety in high-energy experimentation and in nuclear industry, covered by leading experts in the field. ...
