Irradiation-enhanced Creep of Cold-worked Zr-2.5Nb Tubes and Helical-springs

Book Description
This report investigates the anistrophy of irradiation-enhanced creep of cold-worked Zr-2.5Nb at 548-563 K using internally-pressurized capsules and axially loaded helical-springs. The test specimens were machined from small diameter extruded and cold-worked tubing that had crystallographic texture and microstructure similar to that of CANDU power reactor pressure tubes. The biaxial creep capsules and the helical-springs were irradiated for 9,525 and 16,670 hours, respectively, in a fast neutron flux.

Book Description
The eighth and final irradiation segment for pressurized tubes constructed from the fusion Prime Candidate Alloy (PCA) has been completed in FFTF. At 178 dpa and [approximately]400[degrees]C, the irradiation creep of 20% cold-worked PCA has become dominated by the [open-quotes]creep disappearance[close-quotes] phenomenon. The total diametral deformation rate has reached the limiting value of 0.33%/dpa at the three highest stress levels employed in this test. The stress-enhancement of swelling tends to camouflage the onset of creep disappearance, however, requiring the use of several non-traditional techniques to extract the creep coefficients. No failures occurred in these tubes, even though the swelling ranged from [approximately]20 to [approximately]40%.
