Whilst the emphasis lies on zirconium alloys, the combination of both the empirical and mechanistic approaches creates a solid understanding that can also be applied to other hydride forming metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis up-to-date reference focuses on documented research surrounding DHC, including current methodologies for design and assessment of the results of periodic in-service inspections of pressure tubes in nuclear reactors.  Emphasis is placed on showing how our understanding of DHC is supported by progress in general understanding of such broad fields as the study of hysteresis associated with first order phase transformations, phase relationships in coherent crystalline metallic solids, the physics of point and line defects, diffusion of substitutional and interstitial atoms in crystalline solids, and continuum fracture and solid mechanics. Furthermore, an account of current methodologies is given illustrating how such understanding of hydrogen, hydrides and DHC in zirconium alloys underpins these methodologies for assessments of real life cases in the Canadian nuclear industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe all-encompassing approach makes \u003ci\u003eThe Effect of Hydrogen and Hydrides on the Integrity of Zirconium Alloy Component: Delayed Hydride Cracking\u003c\/i\u003e an ideal reference source for students, researchers and industry professionals alike. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-09-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447159773\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-4195-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 452\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50091936514188,"sku":"9781447159773","price":161.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447159773.jpg?v=1779510554","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781447159773","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
