Abstract
The formation mechanism between {101‾2} twins (TWs) and prismatic <a> slip (PR) in the Zircaloy-4 alloy was investigated by the situ study of Transmission Kikuchi Diffraction (TKD) as well as transmission electron microscope (TEM) methods. Our results reveal that the PR and TWs were easily formed on the (101‾0) plane, due to the high Schmid factor values of PR (0.46) and TWs (0.5) were caused by the compression force (CF) – F(30, 90). Moreover, the relationship between CF and driving force (DF) of PR was got as DF = CFcos30°.
