Abstract
Zirconium based alloys in the Zircaloy series have been analysed with atom-probe field-ion microscopy. During specimen preparation an anodic layer is formed, containing about 50% oxygen. In preliminary analyses of the matrix all the minor elements Fe, Ni, Cr and 0 were detected, and it appears possible to determine with the atom-probe whether any particular heat treatment causes matrix depletion.
