1. Phase-Field Simulation of δ Hydride Precipitation with Interfacial Anisotropy
Abstract: This study investigates the impact of anisotropic interfacial energy and mobility on hydride precipitation in zirconium alloys using the phase-field method. Results show anisotropic hydrides form parallelogram-like and needle-like morphologies, aligning with experimental observations, unlike isotropic hydrides' slate-like forms. The findings highlight that semi-coherent or non-coherent interfaces better adjust lattice mismatches, lowering gradient energy and influencing precipitation rates, which aids future research on hydride precipitation orientation and properties.
