Proton irradiation with a primary ion energy of 2 MeV was used to simulate radiation damage in UN and (U,Zr)N fuel pellets. The pellets, nominally at room temperature, were irradiated peak levels 0.1, 1, 10 dpa 100 resulting hydrogen concentration most 1 at. %. Microstructure mechanical properties the samples investigated compared before after irradiation. induced an increase hardness, whereas decrease Young's modulus observed for both samples. Microstructural characterization revealed...
In the present study, physical properties of ternary phase U2CrN3 are evaluated experimentally and by modeling methods. High density pellets containing were prepared spark plasma sintering (SPS). The microstructural crystallographic analyses composite performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), standardised energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Evaluation mechanical was nanoindentation test. impact temperature on lattice high X-ray (XRD) coupled with...
