  15. Strength properties of claddings in a transverse direction depending on ECR value(FA 1 – 3)

  16. Microhardness level at which spreading of the crack, arisen in brittle α-Zr (O) layer, was complicated due to enough high fracture toughness of α '-Zr layer

  17. “Constructive strength” of unstrained and depressurized claddings of FA1 and FA2 under tension

  18. Change of microhardness on azimuth of claddings rupture zone (FA1, FA2)

  19. CONCLUSIONS • It was experimentally shown, that quenching of bundles at temperatures 900 C (FA1) and 1200 C (FA2) did not result in the claddings fragmentation, and the residual resource of mechanical properties was sufficient for its subsequent dismantling and transportation. • The increase of bundle temperature up to 1400°С (FA3) before quenching resulted in the claddings fragmentation. • The faultiest zone ofthe claddings of FA1 and FA2 was the rupture zone due to the thinning of the cladding under the peripheral deformation and its double-side oxidation.

  20. Non-monotonic character of changing strength characteristics of the claddings was established depending on their oxidation level. Increase in a yield stress in a transverse direction decrease in plasticity to a zero value was observed up to ECR value of ~ 8 - 9 %. The further oxidation of the claddings resulted in reducing strength. • Based on electron-microscopic researches change of –Zr layer failure character was established depending on its structural – phase state determined by ECR value:
