Transmission electron microscopy studies of irradiated oxide films

Description

Methods are chosen for the separation of oxide films from the samples of austenitic chromium-nickel steels irradiated in a reactive N2O4 system. Results are presented of the transmission electron microscope analysis (TEM) of the oxide films; the film structure and composition are discussed. It is shown that at low temperatures of 500-700 K cracking of oxide films occurs and the oxidation rate of stainless steels in N2O4 is determined by the oxide film strength. The considered TEM technique enables to study the formation of protective oxide films on core elements in gas cooled reactors
