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…
