Comparison on the microstructure, aqueous corrosion behavior and hydrogen uptake of a new Zr-Sn-Nb alloy prepared by different hot rolling temperature

Abstract
Abstract The Zr-1.0Sn-0.25Nb-0.2Fe-0.1Cr alloys are prepared by low temperature processing (LTP) and high temperature processing (HTP), respectively. The microstructure, aqueous corrosion behavior and hydrogen uptake of the two different samples are investigated. The results show that higher hot rolling temperature causes the growth of the second phase particles (SPPs), which remain in the final microstructure of the Zr matrix. Presence of large SPPs promotes the formation and propagation of cracks in the oxide scale, leading to the higher corrosion rate and higher hydrogen uptake fraction of the HTP samples than LTP samples in the later stage of the corrosion test.
