Figure 4-112: Effect of external tensile stress on hydride precipitation within grains of orientation of the L2 specimen: (a)
(1 1 1) peak area; this was used to determine the amount of hydrogen present as hydride, (b) c-axis strain; this was

also used to give the amount of hydrogen in solution in the αZr phase (from [Vizcaíno et al., 2014]). The applied
tensile stress moves the TSSP temperatures towards higher values. In addition, it increases the fraction of hydride
precipitates forming in grains with orientation. The concentration of hydrogen in solution in grains with
orientation is seemingly not affected by the application of the tensile stress.
