Understanding corrosion and hydrogen pickup of zirconium fuel cladding alloys: the role of oxide microstructure, porosity, suboxides, and second-phase particles
We used a range of advanced microscopy techniques to study the microstructure, nanoscale chemistry, and porosity in zirconium alloys at different stages of oxidation. Samples from both autoclave and in-reactor conditions were available, including ZIRLO™, Zr-1.0Nb, and Zr-2.5Nb samples with different...
