Surface defects like porosity, cracks, coarse grains, surface roughness, etc. have a huge
impact on the strength and performance of materials. Due to this, surface treatments have …

This article investigates the fuel-cladding chemical interaction (FCCI) behavior of two
commercial FeCrAl alloys, APMT composition (Fe-21Cr-5Al-3Mo wt.%) and C35M (Fe-13Cr …

Accident-tolerant FeCrAl alloys require a thinner cladding wall than zirconium cladding to
overcome the extra neutron loss, thus requiring enhanced corrosion resistance. Surface …

Thin-walled FeCrAl alloy tubes emerge as significant contenders for substituting zirconium
alloy cladding tubes. Enhancing the surface strength and corrosion resistance of these tubes …

Nuclear energy is essential for the future development of countries. However, both structural
and functional components of nuclear power equipment are facing severe challenges of …

Corrosion of zirconium alloy fuel cladding in nuclear reactors is one of the main limiting
factors to component lifespan. Protective coatings may be applied to reduce the corrosion …

FeCrAl thin films are considered optimal candidates for protecting surfaces in harsh
environments, with potential for improvement in their anti-oxidation properties by …

Designing microstructurally stable FeCrAl alloys with excellent strength-ductility synergy is
highly desirable for their engineering applications. However, due to the preference …

Ultrafast pulsed laser ablation is utilised to modify the surface of a nickel-based alloy by
changing its surface chemistry and structure. This study subjected a VDM® alloy 699 XA to …

This study developed a rapid structure control technique for AlCoCrFeNi/AT13 (Al₂O₃–
