In this paper, the 1200° C high temperature steam oxidation behavior of Cr-based coatings
with different Al content (0, 15 at%, 30 at%, 50 at%) deposited on titanium-zirconium …

Anti-corrosion coatings on Zircaloy cladding have been extensively explored to guarantee
the safe operation and scale up industrialization of nuclear reactors. In this work, Mo and Al …

For enhancing accident tolerance in current operating LWRs, Zr-based claddings with a
protective layer, which have outstanding resistance to high-temperature oxidation, are …

In the current study, alloys of Mo-95Zr, Mo-80Zr, Mo-50Zr, Mo-35Zr, Mo-20Zr and Mo-3Zr
(at.%) were prepared to investigate the microstructure and oxidation behaviors of the whole …

Lasers and electron beams have been widely used to synthesize various surface alloys
(SAs) but no data have been reported so far on the molybdenum-zirconium (Mo-Zr) ones. To …

In this paper, TiC (1 wt%, 5 wt%, 10 wt%, 15 wt%)-reinforced TZM composites with high
relative density and good mechanical properties were prepared by high energy ball milling …

The development of fast neutron reactors with improved efficiency and sustainability, being a

Abstract Zr-1Nb-1Sn-0.1 Fe alloy was pre-oxidised at 1200° C and subsequently oxidised at
1012, 1100, and 1200° C. The preformed oxide enhanced the oxidation resistance at 1012 …

Cr-coated Zr alloys are widely considered the most promising accident-tolerant fuel (ATF)
cladding materials for engineering applications in the near term. In this work, Cr coatings …
