Precipitate Stability in a Zr–2.5Nb–0.5Cu Alloy under Heavy Ion Irradiation

The stability of precipitates in Zr–2.5Nb–0.5Cu alloy under heavy ion irradiation from 100 °C to 500 °C was investigated by quantitative Chemi-STEM EDS analysis. Irradiation results in the crystalline to amorphous transformation of Zr2Cu between 200 °C and 300 °C, but the β–Nb remains crystalline at...
