In this investigation, the effects of Sn, Cr, and Cu on the precipitation of the second-phase
particles (SPPs) in Zr–Sn–0.3 Nb–0.3 Fe–(Cr, Cu) alloys were investigated. Scanning …

The precipitate oxidation behaviour of binary zirconium alloys containing 1wt.% Fe, Ni, Cr or
0.6 wt.% Nb was characterised in TEM on FIB prepared transverse sections of the oxide and …

Abstract Using Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) coupled with Dual
Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (DualEELS) and scanned diffraction, the corrosion and …

Two varieties of Zircaloy-2, with different second phase particle (SPP) size distributions and
different corrosion resistance, were oxidized in a steam autoclave. Transmission electron …

Raman map** of sectioned zirconium cladding oxides was performed to analyze different
spectral features before and after breakaway, as well as between zirconium and its alloys Zr …

The oxidation behavior of second phase particles (SPPs) and the formation of cracks in
oxide films on Zr-0.93 Sn-0.82 Nb-0.17 Fe-0.019 S alloy in lithiated water with 0.01 M LiOH …

The corrosion behavior of Zr alloys was affected by second phases, especially by those
containing Fe and Nb. Ti 2 Ni-type (Zr, Nb) 2 Fe compound was melted and exposed to H 2 …

Hydrogen embrittlement in Zr-alloy fuel cladding is a primary safety concern for water-based
nuclear reactors. Here we investigated the stabilization of planar defects within the forming …

Grain morphology and crystal structure of pre-transition oxides formed on a Zircaloy-4 alloy
were investigated. The results show that monoclinic columnar grains align tightly in inner …

The corrosion behavior of Zr-0.7 Sn-1Nb-0.2 Fe-xGe-xCu alloys (x= 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, wt%)
and the microstructures of the oxide film formed on the specimens were investigated in …
