The role of β-Zr in a Zr-2.5Nb alloy during aqueous corrosion: a multi-technique study

The Zr–2.5Nb alloy is used as pressure tubes in Canadian Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) nuclear reactors, and the typical starting microstructure consists of α-Zr grains elongated in both transverse and longitudinal directions and thin layers of partially decomposed β-Zr lying between the α-Zr grains. In...
