report
Taking zirconium alloy with 20 at% Y as an example, according to the thermodynamic calculation results from the database, the d-YHx (x 1⁄4 0.57) hydride phase starts to form under a hydrogen pressure of 423 Pa at 900 C, but zirconium still exists in the form of b-Zr solid solution with a fairly low H/Zr ratio of 0.09, far lower than the solubility limits of hydrogen in b-Zr.
