摘要
The corrosion kinetics transition phenomenon of zirconium alloys has decisive effect on the service life of nuclear zirconium fuel tubes. The lateral cracks in the oxide of zirconium alloy are the principal cause of corrosion kinetics transition. By far, there is no systematical study on the factors which affecting the production of lateral cracks. Based on the nature of formation of lateral cracks, the influences of mechanical properties of matrix, second phase particles, tetragonal zirconia in oxide and alloying elements on corrosion transition phenomenon were discussed, and the driving force for the formation of lateral cracks and the reasons for nucleation regions of cracks were revealed. It is pointed out that deeply investigate on these four factors could contribute to decrease the production of lateral cracks in oxide and enhance the corrosion resistance of zirconium alloys. © 2017, Science Press.
