摘要
The behavior of the Zr(Fe,Cr,Nb)(2) precipitate in a China-brand Zr-Sn-Nb-Fe-Cr alloy under a 500 key Ne ion beam irradiation and post heating were studied by in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It is found that the Zr(Fe,Cr,Nb)(2) precipitate with the hexagonal close packed (hcp) structure is the major secondary phase particle (SPP) in this zirconium alloy. At the temperature of 310 degrees C, the precipitate starts to be amorphized after having been irradiated to 0.5 displacement per atom (dpa). The critical irradiation dose for the precipitate to be completely amorphized is 1.0 dpa. The amorphized Zr(Fe,Cr,Nb)(2) precipitate starts to be recrystallized when it was heated up to 600 degrees C. The temperature for the recrystallization of the amorphized Zr(Fe,Cr,Nb)(2) precipitate is determined to be between 450 degrees C and 600 degrees C. Instead of forming large single grain crystals, some nanocrystals that have the same crystal structure to that of the precipitate before being amorphized were formed during the recrystallization.
