摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing zirconium-based alloys containing niobium with superior corrosion resistance for use in nuclear fuel rod claddings. The method of this invention comprises melting of the alloy, β-forging, β-quenching, hot-working, vacuum annealing, cold-working, intermediate annealing and final annealing, whereby the niobium concentration in the α-Zr matrix decreases from the supersaturation state to the equilibrium state to improve the corrosion resistance of the alloy. Such zirconium-based alloys containing niobium are usefully applied to nuclear fuel rod cladding of the cores in light water reactors and heavy water reactors.

A method for production of mono-dispersed and crystalline titanium dioxide ultra fine powders comprises preparing an aqueous titanyl chloride solution, diluting the aqueous titanyl chloride solution to a concentration of between about 0.2 to 1.2 mole and heating the diluted aqueous titanyl chloride solution and maintaining the solution in a temperature range of between 15 to 155.degree. C. to precipitate titanium dioxide. The aqueous titanyl chloride solution is prepared by adding ice pieces of distilled water or icing distilled water to undiluted titanium tetrachloride.
