Abstract
The terminal solid solubility of hydrogen in alpha zirconium has been investigated using optical metallographic techniques. Hydrogen concentrations from 4 to 230 mg/kg were studied and good agreement found with previous determinations at concentrations above 25 mg/kg. Based on electron microscopic analysis of the hydrides, the solvus measured at hydrogen concentrations less than 25 mg/kg was determined to be that for the gamma hydride phase. From a least-squares fit of the data, the terminal solid solubility of this phase is given by the expression 3.43 × 10 4 exp(−32200/ RD) mg/kg.
