摘要
Micro-pillars of 5 mu m diameter and 5 mu m height were made from textured Zr-2.5%Nb pressure tube material and were irradiated with 8.5 MeV Zr+ to simulate neutron irradiation. The yield stress, strain hardening exponent, and degree of strain localization of the micro-pillars when tested at 25 degrees C increased with ion irradiation and the extent of increase was largest in directions containing low (0001) basal pole fraction. This suggests that Zr+ irradiation inhibits prismatic dislocation slip more than pyramidal slip in this material. (c) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
