Impact of Manufacturing Changes on Zr Alloy In-Pile Performance
(ZIRAT14/IZNA9 STR)
The microstructure in the Zr-Nb alloys have crucial impact on the material performance in-reactor. The microstructure is a function of material chemistry and the manufacturing process. This report provides an overview of Zr alloy manufacturing process and relationship between fabrication, microstructure and in-pile performance.
