Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Large-Scale Ingots of the Zr-1Mo Alloy

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: A large-scale ingot of Zr-1Mo alloy was produced for industrial manufacturing to investigate whether it is possible to produce an ingot with homogeneity. The homogeneous ingot with a chemical composition of Zr-1 mass%Mo was prepared successfully. The microstructure, mechanical properties, and magnetic susceptibility were evaluated. The microstructure showed a coarse colony structure of a plate-like α phase and a thin β phase. An ω phase precipitation was observed in the β phase. Elongation of 23% and magnetic susceptibility of 12.4 × 10−9 m3 kg−1 (0.98 × 10−6 cm3 g−1) were achieved. We found that it is possible to produce a homogeneous large-scale ingot of Zr-1Mo with high elongation and low magnetic susceptibility.
