Description
| Summary: | Flat mill products of Zircaloy-4 and controlled-chemistry Zircaloy-2 were processed using different rolling schedules in order to generate different textures and other metallurgical conditions. Tubular products of three heats of controlled-chemistry Zircaloy-2 were also processed using various thermo-mechanical parameters and different tube reduction schedules. Samples were taken for 500 and 520°C steam autoclave tests and texture and microstructure examination. Intermetallic precipitates were analyzed for mean diameters and particle size distributions using optical high magnification photographs. Matrix concentrations of Fe, Cr, and Ni were analyzed by electron microprobe with automated stage control
