Revealing the fretting failure law and mechanism of steam generator tubes is a critical issue
to ensure the safe operation of nuclear power plants. This paper reviews the current …

The coating fabricated by laser cladding on the surface has been an effective way to
strengthen and enhance the wear resistance of alloys. However, the traditional Co-based …

The critical failure factor and damage mechanism of 316 stainless steel during fretting
corrosion under the molten lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) are specially investigated …

The effect of fretting frequency on fretting corrosion behavior between Alloy 690TT heat-
exchanger tube and 405 stainless steel plate in simulated secondary water of pressurized …

Heat transfer tubes in nuclear power plants are easily damaged by fretting wear. The fretting
behaviour of the heat transfer tube related to the lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) alloys needs to …

Fretting wear evolution of γ-TiAl alloy was investigated. Evolution of wear scar, tribolayer
and wear debris were studied using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope …

This paper investigates torsional-fretting wear properties of 7075 aluminum alloys under
lubricated and dry conditions. Fretting wear experiments are conducted under the flat-on-flat …

Fretting maps of Zr alloy tube under grid-to-rod configuration in high temperature
pressurised water were established. Running condition fretting map shows three fretting …

Fretting wear tests of Zircaloy-4 alloy against Inconel 718 alloy were conducted on a fretting
wear rig. The contact state and fretting running characteristics of Zircaloy-4 alloy were …

Fretting experiments of Alloy 690TT tubes against 405 stainless steel (405 SS) plates were
carried out to evaluate the influence of temperature on fretting performance of Alloy 690TT …
