Irradiation influence on oxidation of the Zr-2.5 Nb alloy in gaseous medium of the complex composition

Creators

Description

The irradiation effect of Zr-2.5% Nb alloy oxidation in humid nitrogen environment depending on test temperature and neutron flux rate is studied. The oxidation process is shown to be effected by the irradiation-induced variation of the properties of the oxidizing metal, metal-oxide system and gas environment. Irradiation reduces the 300 deg C oxidation resistance of the alloy by a great measure when the neutron irradiation rate is above (1-2)x10-13 neutr/cm2 s (E >= 1.1 MeV). The oxidation tendency of the alloy in reactor-irradiated gas-environment at 330 deg C is above that of irradiation-free oxidation
