Oa. Kozhevnikov et al., Influence of neutron irradiation on deformability and fracture micromechanisms of titanium alpha-alloys, J NUCL MAT, 272, 1999, pp. 472-477
The deformability and fracture appearance of neutron irradiated Ti-Zr alloy
were investigated. It was shown that irradiation at 200-250 degrees C resu
lted in a drastic decrease of uniform elongation. The material irradiated a
t 350 degrees C and over was characterized by high deformability. The dimpl
e ductile transgranular fracture was found to be typical for the examined m
aterial both in initial state and after the low temperature irradiation. El
ements of ductile intergranular fracture were observed in the material afte
r neutron irradiation at 400 degrees C. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All
