| Abstract |
One of the major reasons for utilizing Zr-base alloys in nuclear reactors is its good resistance to creep. Tension and creep deformation behaviors of Zr-1Nb-1Sn-0.1Fe alloy (0%Mo alloy) and Zr-1Nb-1Sn-0.1Fe-0.5Mo (0.5%Mo alloy) were evaluated to investigate the effect of Mo addition on mechanical properties and anisotropy. The addition of Mo increased the tensile strength through solid solution hardening. Room and high temperature tensile strength of TD(transverse direction) specimens were higher than those of RD(rolling direction) specimens. The TD specimen of 0.5Mo alloy showed higher elongation at room temperature than the RD specimen due to lattice rotation resulted from twin deformation. The stress exponent, n, obtained in creep test lied between 2.3 and 4.5 in both RD and TD specimens and the viscous glide was the predominant mechanism in creep deformation. The 0.5%Mo alloy showed higher creep resistance than the one without Mo. |
