摘要
A 3.6 MeV proton irradiation of annealed Zr-2.5Nb has been performed to determine whether proton irradiation will enhance the precipitation of Nb-rich beta-phase precipitates within the alpha-grains. A transmission electron microscope examination of a foil after irradiation at 770 K for 18 h and at 720 K for 264.5 h to a total damage of 0.94 dpa revealed a fine dispersion of precipitates within the alpha-grains. Electron diffraction analysis of the precipitates found they have lattice plane spacings consistent with the Nb-rich beta-phase. This result is in agreement with the beta-phase precipitation observed following neutron irradiation, and thus it supports the use of proton irradiation to simulate neutron-irradiation effects in Zr-2.5Nb.
