Abstract
- Five 30-lb, 4-in.-diam iodide hafnium ingots representing material typical cf that utilized for the Shippingport PWR were fabricated into strip. Typical tensile, impact, hardness, corrosion test weight gain, electrical resistivity, and chemical analysis values were obtained by testing samples from each strip. The effect of irradation on the impact strengih and hardness of hafnium strip was investigated by subjecting a total of 36 subsized Izod impact specimens to irradiation for two cycles in the MTR. A duplicate group of nonirradiated specimens was used as a control group. The mechanical, physical, and corrcsion property measurements for the nonirradiated and irradiated samples showed no physically significant differences attributable to chemical analysis. The impact strength and hardness values for the irradiated specimens showed differences which were attributable to the integrated neutron flux received. (auth)
