Abstract

The biaxial creep behavior of Nb-added zirconium base alloys—HANA-4 and ZIRLO^®—was investigated at 400 and 500°C, respectively. Biaxial creep tests were performed using internally pressurized tubing superimposed with axial load. Both axial and hoop strains were monitored using a linear variable linear variable displacement transducer (LVDT) and a laser telemetric extensometer, respectively. The creep data are analyzed to derive the anisotropy parameters and construct thermal creep loci at a given energy dissipation. The creep locus for HANA-4 was noted to be close to that predicted for isotropy and was found to be not largely affected by initial state. However, the creep locus and anisotropic parameters for cold-worked ZIRLO^® showed deviation from isotropy, exhibiting higher hoop deformation compared to axial strain.
