example 2
the thickness direction (thickness of 0.3mm) of the Zr-2 alloy strip was then subjected to EBSD sample preparation by the method described in example 1.
The Zr-2 alloy has good corrosion resistance, moderate mechanical property, lower atomic thermal neutron absorption cross section (zirconium is 0.18 target en) at the high temperature and the high pressure of 300-400 ℃ in water vapor, and good compatibility with nuclear fuel, so the Zr-2 alloy can be used as a reactor core structural material (a fuel cladding, a pressure pipe, a bracket and a pore pipe) of a water-cooled nuclear reactor, and is mainly used as the Zr-2 alloy.
Since the Zr-2 strip is a thin sheet having a thickness of 0.3mm, the surface of the strip in the thickness direction must be tested by the EBSD technique in order to observe information such as the thickness surface grain orientation and texture of the strip. A difficulty in preparing samples of surface EBSD in the thickness direction of the strip is that the strip thickness is only 0.3 mm. The size of the sample cut at this time is as follows: the length is 6mm, the width is 0.5mm, and the thickness is 0.3 mm. The sample preparation method is basically the same as that in example 1.
the utility model is not the best known technology.
