Delayed Hydride Crack Velocity of Zirconium Alloys with the Direction of an Approach to Temperature

概要

論文の詳細を見る
The delayed hydride cracking (DHC) tests were conducted on Zr-2.5Nb compact tension specimens with the test temperatures reached by a heating and a cooling. The Zr-2.5Nb specimens were either furnace-cooled or water-quenched after a hydrogen charging treatment to contain 10 to 100 ppm H. On an approach to the test temperatures by a cooling, both the Zr-2.5Nb specimens showed the DHC velocity increasing with an increasing temperature over a temperature range of 100–300°C, irrespective of the cooling rate. However, on an approach to the test temperatures by heating, the furnace-cooled Zr-2.5Nb showed a DHC arrest at temperatures over 180°C and no DHC at 250°C, and the water-quenched ones did have a DHC growth, even at 250°C. Using Kim’s DHC model we elucidate the DHC arrest in the furnace-cooled Zr-2.5Nb at temperatures over 180°C and the DHC growth in the water-quenched specimen, even at 250°C, upon an approach by a heating.
