Silicon carbide fibre–reinforced silicon carbide matrix (SiCf/SiC) composites are desirable in structural nuclear applications due to their low density, high temperature strength and tolerance to energetic radiation. We have subjected two industrial grades of SiCf/SiC to high energy He²⁺ ion irradiation, up to 10,000 a…

Hydride precipitation and reorientation has the potential to embrittle zirconium alloys. This study aims to better understand the influence of the Zr microstructure on hydride precipitation and reorientation. Specifically, the crystallography, phase stability and morphology of hydride precipitation was correlated to microstructural variations due t…
