Post-LOCA ductility of Cr-coated cladding and its embrittlement limit

Hyunwoo Yook et al.

Summary: Post-Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) ductility assessments of Cr-coated Zircaloy cladding showed that the ECR limit for Cr-coated cladding oxidized on both sides is 13.8% at a steam oxidation temperature of 1204 degrees C, indicating embrittlement near the burst hole on the outer side of the cladding.

Systematic investigations on the coating degradation mechanism during the steam oxidation of Cr-coated Zry-4 at 1200°C

Junkai Liu et al.

Summary: The isothermal oxidation behavior of Cr-coated Zircaloy-4 in steam at 1200 degrees C has been comprehensively investigated. The oxidation kinetics transition occurs when Zr outward diffusion and precipitation of ZrO2 at the Cr coating grain boundaries reach the Cr2O3/Cr interface. The outward diffused Zr reduces Cr2O3 scale to Cr and forms pores at the Cr2O3/Cr interface and inside the Cr2O3 scale after the transition. These interfacial pores affect the oxidation mechanism of Cr-coated Zry-4, and the coating failure and oxidation of the Zry-4 substrate occur when the thickness of the outer Cr2O3 scale decreases to a certain value.

Transient experiments on oxidation and degradation of Cr-coated Zircaloy in steam up to 1600 °C

Junkai Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the transient oxidation behavior of magnetron-sputtered chromium-coated Zircaloy-4 in steam up to 1600 degrees C, revealing that coating failure and rapid oxidation occurred at 1300-1400 degrees C due to various factors such as thickness decrease of the outer dense Cr2O3 scale and phase transformation of ZrO2-x to cubic ZrO2-y.

Interdiffusion behavior between Cr and Zr and its effect on the microcracking behavior in the Cr-coated Zr-4 alloy

Ji-Shen Jiang et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that high-temperature Cr-Zr interdiffusion results in the formation of a ZrCr2 layer, consumption of the Cr coating, and interfacial roughening. Under external loading, a significant amount of cracks are generated in the brittle interlayer and some interfacial cracks are formed and grow at the ZrCr2/Zr-4 interface.

Steam oxidation of Cr-coated Sn-containing Zircaloy solid rod at 1000 °C

Junkai Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the steam oxidation behavior of Cr-coated Zry-4 alloy at 1000 degrees C and observed various interesting phenomena during the oxidation process. The diffusion of Sn from the Zry-4 substrate into the coating, Kirkendall effect of Sn-containing precipitates, outward diffusion behavior of Zr, and selective oxidation mechanism of Zr particles were studied. Voids at the Cr2O3/Cr interface mainly result from vacancy condensation, and amorphization of Cr2O3 adjacent to the voids was observed with its mechanism discussed.

Experimental and modelling results of the QUENCH-18 bundle experiment on air ingress, cladding melting and aerosol release

Juri Stuckert et al.

Summary: The QUENCH-18 bundle test aimed to study the oxidation of M5 (R) claddings in air/steam mixture and its interaction with nitrogen under oxygen and steam starvations. The experiment also investigated the effects of control rods, showing significant release of silver and formation of zirconium nitrides under oxygen starvation conditions.
