Effects of minor alloying elements added in simulated cladding on lattice thermal expansion
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract This study explored the crystallographic characterization of zirconium, zirconium-based samples containing minor alloying elements, simulated Zircaloy-4, and simulated ZIRLO at a temperature range of 30–870 °C using in situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction. The results from Pawley refinement demonstrated that the lattice thermal expansion along the a-axis direction is suppressed by the tin element, in contrast to the other minor alloying elements. Moreover, the simulated ZIRLO possesses the enhanced resistance for lattice thermal expansion compared to the simulated Zircaloy-4, indicating that a ZIRLO cladding has a better performance in suppressing the change in the lattice constants under a thermal environment.
