Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) can effectively protect the alloy substrate of hot components
in aeroengines or land-based gas turbines by the thermal insulation and corrosion/erosion …

A review of the data available in the literature on the residual stress determination in zirconia
scales has been undertaken. Deflexion method and curvature measurement as well as …

Zirconium alloys are widely used for fuel cladding and in pressure tubes, fuel channels
(boxes), and fuel spacer grids in almost all water-cooled reactors: light water reactors such …

Porosity throughout the zirconium oxide films plays a crucial role in the corrosion behavior
and oxidation kinetics of Zr alloys, as it likely provides pathways for oxidizing and hydriding …

In order to promote the understanding of Zirconium alloy cladding failure under loss of
coolant accidents (LOCA), air oxidation behavior of Zr-1 Nb-0.12 O (M5) alloy at 700–900° C …

Molecular dynamics (MD) is employed to investigate the plastic deformation mechanisms of
single crystalline yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (YSTZ) nanopillars under uniaxial …

The protection of the zirconium alloy by Cr 3 C 2–NiCr coating has been evaluated. The
corrosion resistant carbide-based cermet coatings were deposited on the zirconium alloy …

Abstract The Zr-2.5 Nb alloys were selected for thermal treatment from 500 to 800° C in air.
