Mechanism of the α-Zr to hexagonal-ZrO transformation and its impact on the corrosion performance of nuclear Zr alloys
Displacive transformations have been widely reported in metals, alloys and ceramics, but rarely reported to be important in the aqueous corrosion of alloys. We report here our analysis of the formation of the hexagonal-ZrO suboxide during the aqueous corrosion of α-Zr alloys and propose this to be a...
