Corrosion resistance of Hf B2-δ compounds

Description

The corrosion characteristics of hafnium diboride (elaborated from two types of powder) have been measured in high temperature water (P= 15.5 MPa, T= 345 C). A significant improvement of the corrosion resistance has been obtained by elaboration of metal rich compounds; one of the samples keeps its integrity after 980 hours testing. Hafnium diboride could be a candidate to be used as a control rod absorber material in a new generation of Pressurized Water Reactors. 5 refs., 11 figs., 6 tabs
