The fretting corrosion behaviors and the associated mechanisms of Zr alloy claddings with
and without Cr coating in the primary water (310° C/15.5 MPa) of the simulated pressurized …

Abstract After the Fukushima-Daiichi event, there has been notable progress in developing
accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding designs to improve light-water reactor (LWR) safety …

In this work, GH4169 dovetail specimens were coated on both sides with a bonded solid
lubricant coating. Fretting fatigue tests were carried out at 500° C and compared with …

The fretting wear behaviors and wear mechanism of the Cr-coated Zr–1Nb alloy cladding
tube mated with Zr-4 alloy dimple were investigated under different tangential …

Abstract Grid-to-rod (GTR) fretting wear was identified as the primary cause of fuel assembly
failure. A high temperature pressurized water fretting wear system was designed and …

Abstract Ti-6Al-4 V titanium alloy is used for low-pressure compressor blades of aero-engine
due to its high specific strength, excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature …

Improving the high-temperature wear resistance of aero-engine components is critical. Laser
shock peening without coating (LSPwC) seems to have more potential because of lower …

Grid-to-rod fretting wear is an important factor causing the fuel failure in nuclear power
plants. Accident tolerant fuel (ATF) Cr coating and oxide ceramic coating have been …

Multiple effect evaporators (MEEs) are extensively utilized across diverse industries, such as
pulp and paper, sugar, and desalination, for the purpose of concentration and purification …

Zirconium (Zr) alloy fuel cladding is exposed to harsh environments such as high
temperature and high pressure for a long time. Surface modification technology can …
