Abstract
Abstract The corrosion behavior of Zr-0.7Sn-1Nb-0.2Fe- x Ge- x Cu alloys ( x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, wt%) and the microstructures of the oxide film formed on the specimens were investigated in lithiated water at 360 °C by autoclave tests. Results show that the corrosion resistance of the Zr-0.7Sn-1Nb-0.2Fe alloy is remarkably improved with 0.05% Cu and 0.05% Ge addition, since a small amount of Cu and Ge can dissolve in α-Zr matrix and Cu- or Ge-containing Zr(Nb,Fe) 2 second phase particles(SPPs) can delay the microstructural evolution of oxide film. But the coarse tet-Zr 2 Cu and tet-Zr 3 Ge SPPs, which will be formed by the further increase of Cu and Ge content, are disadvantageous to the corrosion resistance of the alloys.
