摘要
In order to study the influence of neutron irradiation on the mechanical properties of Cr-coated zirconium alloy, a neutron irradiation test is carried out in this paper for the Cr-coated zirconium alloy prepared by multi-arc ion plating technology. The mechanical properties were conducted by in situ tensile tests and the coating adhesion was analyzed by micron morphology characterization. Results show that Cr coating zircaloy has a similar irradiation effect with commercial zircaloy cladding. Compared with uncoated zircaloy, Cr coating shows that the yield strength and tensile strength increased but percentage elongation after fracture decreased.The Cr coating shows cracks till a large tensile strain without peeling off before rupture. The Cr coating exhibits good mechanical properties and excellent adhesion with Zircaloy Tubes. © 2023 Yuan Zi Neng Chuban She. All rights reserved.
