We demonstrated in this paper that plasma electrolytic oxidation of zirconium in an alkaline
electrolyte (10 g/L trisodium phosphate decahydrate) with the addition of NaAlO 2 is a highly …

To improve the density and hydrogen barrier performance of the anodic oxide layer on the
surface of ZrH 1.8, anodization of the ZrH 1.8 substrate was performed under a constant …

To address the inherent shortcomings of the direct micro-arc oxidation method, this study
employed a combination of electroplating and micro-arc oxidation techniques. This …

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 …

Zirconium (Zr) alloy fuel cladding is exposed to harsh environments such as high
