AbstractAn investigation was carried out to determine the orientation and the effect on tensile properties of hydrides precipitated in heat-treated Zr-2.5 wt% Nb tubing during the corrosion hydriding of internally pressurized samples. It was found that as the stress during hydriding was increased the hydrides gradually assumed a characteristic radial orientation nearly perpendicular to the hoop stress. The observed radial hydride orientation was influenced by prior β grain size, residual quenching stresses, cold-work strains and stresses applied while the pressure tube was being hydrided. Hoop stresses in excess of 20,000 psi were required to produce complete radial orientation of the hydrides.Transverse tensile tests on the hydrided tubes were conducted using a reduced section ring technique. These tests revealed a low ductility at low temperatures with a transition in the range 60°–100°C for material with radially oriented hydrides. Low tensile ductility was observed at significantly higher temperatures...
