Coatings with thicknesses between a few microns and∼ 10 μm deposited on a Zircaloy-4
substrate have been studied with the objective to provide a significant reduction in the …

A high-entropy alloy (HEA) AlTiCrNiTa coating with near-equal molar ratio was prepared on
the base of zircaloy-4 substrates using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering (MS) …

FeCrAl alloys have exhibited excellent oxidation resistance in high temperature steam
environment. However, over the past few years, thin film FeCrAl on zircaloy substrate can …

A new bi-layer Cr/FeCrAl coating was successfully fabricated on the Zr-4 plates through
multi-arc ion plating in order to take advantage of the two materials of FeCrAl and Cr. The …

The under-deposit corrosion behavior of Alloy 800 and Alloy 825 in oxidizing supercritical
water (SCW) containing KCl or NaCl were investigated. A novel-designed reactor was used …

The interfacial bonding at protective coatings and Zr alloy substrates could have a significant
effect on the corrosion behaviors of the coatings. In this work, FeCrAl-Zr couples were …

The simulated boiling water condition corrosion properties of multilayer and combinatorial
physical vapor deposition metal coatings (Zr, Cr, and/or Ti) deposited on a SiC f-SiC …

Abstract Effect of interface undulation on the high-temperature oxidation behaviors of grit-
blasted and coated zircaloys in pressurized water was investigated. The grit-blasted and the …

Zirconium-based alloy fuel claddings applied in current water-cooled nuclear reactors
possess multiple desirable attributes during steady-state normal operation. However, the …

Laser micromelting (LMM) technology allows for the remelting of pre-positioned coatings on
the surface of a specimen to form a metallurgical bond with the substrate material …
