Description

Anisotropic elastic constants of Zr-2.5Nb pressure tube materials were determined by a high temperature resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS). The resonance frequencies were measured using alumina wave guides and wide-band ultrasonic transducers in a small furnace. The estimated elastic stiffness was determined using its orientation distribution function by x-ray diffraction and the reported elastic stiffness of a zirconium single crystal. A nine elastic stiffness tensor for the orthorhombic symmetry was determined in the range of room temperature∼400 deg. C
