Description
Fracture properties of Zircaloy-4 were determined as a function of the energies required for failure. Charpy V-notch fracture samples were prepared from nuclear grade Zircaloy-4. The fracture mechanism was studied as a function of orientation, loading rate, and temperature. Yield stress, tensile stress and integrated energy values were determined from the resulting fracture force-displacement curves. The results are reported and discussed. (U.K.)
