Zirconium (Zr) hydrides threaten the reliability of fuel assembly and have repeatedly induced
failures in cladding tubes and pressure vessels. Thus, they attract a broad range of research …

In this study, ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) was used to fabricate a gradient
nanostructured commercial pure titanium. The site-specific microstructure, refining …

The evolution of defects and irradiation damage in Ti and Ti-Mo alloy under hydrogen ion
irradiation were investigated by slow positron-beam doppler broadening spectroscopy …

The fracture mechanism of hydrogen charged Ti–6Al–4V has been investigated through a
multianalytical approach. The difference in hydrogen solubility between β phase (high …

The electric pulse treatment and hydrogen as temporary alloying element have been widely
used to improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of titanium alloys …

Thermohydrogen processing (THP) is a potential method for enhancing the formability of
titanium alloys. However, there has been no report on the deformation behavior and …

The sudden brittle fracture of Ti, Zr and other metals caused by brittle hydride phase usually
depends on the hydride network that provides the crack initiation and propagation path …

Two samples of an α+ β Ti-4Al-4Mo-4Sn-0.5 Si (wt%) alloy, one with fine prior β grains and a
heterogeneous microstructure and the other with coarse prior β grains and a homogeneous …

An extra-low interstitial near alpha alloy Ti− 3Al− 2Zr− 2Mo (wt%) was fabricated by
hydrogenation and thermomechanical consolidation (TMC) of the coarse and spherical pre …

The effect of hydrogen ion irradiation on the formation of hydride and vacancy-type defects
in pure titanium was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Doppler broadening spectrum …
