Abstract
Finely dispersed two phase microstructures resulting from a spinodal decomposition are of interest as they are associated with enhanced mechanical properties and excessive interfaces to mitigate defect related behavior. This study reports a spinodal-like phase decomposition in a U–50Zr alloy by thermal annealing at 620 °C and ion irradiation at 550 °C, with the latter temperature too low to initiate pure thermal phase transformation. The results hold broad impact for U–Zr alloy systems and its application as advanced nuclear fuel.
