In-situ temperature-dependent evaluation of phase makeup and gas evolution of hydrogen-loaded Ni-plated Zircaloy-4
The transformation kinetics of metastable gamma-zirconium hydride has been investigated by several authors. In this work, we evaluate the transformation kinetics of gamma-ZrH within hydrogen loaded, nickel-plated Zircaloy-4 samples containing a hydrogen to zirconium atom ratio near 1. Samples were analyzed in-situ via high temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the transformation kinetics were correlated to the degree of hydrogen out-gassing measured using a thermogravimetric analysis instrument outfitted with a mass spectrometer (TGA-DSC-MS). The correlation of in-situ high temperature hot-stage XRD (HS-XRD) and TGA-MS was verified by outfitting the HS-XRD with a mass spectrometer (HS-XRD-MS). Lastly, scanning electron microscopy equipped with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was utilized to understand the inherent microstructures prior to thermal cycling as well as to verify the crystalline phase assemblage observed via HS-XRD.
