Corrosion of zirconium alloys in power reactor superheated steam

Description

The results of investigation into kinetics of zirconium alloy corrosion in power reactor channel superheated steam by means of the resistometric method are presented. It is revealed that the rate of Zr+2.5% Nb alloy corrosion under neutron flux irradiation with 3.8x1013 neutr./(cm2xs) intensity at E>=0.8 MeV decreases and the Zr+1% Fe+1% Cr+0.4% W alloy stronger corrode under the same conditions. The results agree with data obtained by the weight method
