摘要
An analytical transmission electron microscopy study of two-phase (alpha-beta) structures in a Zr-2.5 wt% Nb pressure tube alloy was used to follow the distribution of Nb and Fe as a function of alloy heat treatment and tube processing. The presence of Fe (approximately 0.1 wt%) modifies the (alpha - beta) phase equilibria as Fe is a beta-stabilizing element. Significant segregation of Fe to beta(Zr) and beta(Nb) structures was measured and shown to be in good agreement with the prediction of a graphical method used to find the phase boundaries in the ternary diagram (at the Zr corner) from the binary data. Segregation of Fe at alpha - alpha subboundaries was found in the as-extruded and cold-worked plus stress-relieved treatments. The Fe profiles, measured across subboundaries. indicated a strong segregation of Fe to the core or near-core regions of the dislocations comprising the boundary structure.
