The effect of hydrogen on the multiscale mechanical behaviour of a La(Fe,Mn,Si)13-based magnetocaloric material

Siyang Wang, Oriol Gavalda-Diaz, Ting Luo +6

Magnetocaloric cooling offers the potential to improve the efficiency of refrigeration devices and hence cut the significant CO2 emissions associated with cooling processes. A crit…

Nanoscale characterisation of hydrides and secondary phase particles in Zircaloy-4

Wenjun Lu, Paraskevas Kontis, Siyang Wang +4

The interaction of hydrogen and metals continues to be industrially relevant and is a critical part of creating and supporting a safety case for nuclear reactor operation. In the p…

Hydride growth mechanism in Zircaloy-4: investigation of the partitioning of alloying elements

Isabelle Mouton, Yanhong Chang, Poulami Chakraborty +4

The long-term safety of water-based nuclear reactors relies in part on the reliability of zirconium-based nuclear fuel. Yet the progressive ingress of hydrogen during service makes…

Slip-hydride interactions in Zircaloy-4: Multiscale mechanical testing and characterisation

Siyang Wang, Finn Giuliani, T. Ben Britton

The interactions between δ-hydrides and plastic slip in a commercial zirconium alloy, Zircaloy-4, under stress were studied using in situ secondary electron microscope (SEM) microp…

The effect of δ-hydride on the micromechanical deformation of Zircaloy-4 studied by in situ high angular resolution electron backscatter diffraction

Siyang Wang, Szilvia Kalácska, Xavier Maeder +3

Zircaloy-4 is used extensively as nuclear fuel cladding materials and hydride embrittlement is a major failure mechanism. To explore the effect of δ-hydride on plastic deformation…
