Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a chromium-aluminum binary alloy with excellent corrosion resistance and a method of producing the same, and more particularly to a chromium-aluminum binary alloy with excellent corrosion resistance, including: 1 to 40% by weight of aluminum (Al), the balance of chromium (Cr), and other unavoidable impurities with respect to a total weight of the alloy, and a method of producing a chromium-aluminum binary alloy with excellent corrosion resistance, the method including: (Step 1) mixing and melting a raw material comprising: 1 to 40% by weight of aluminum (Al), the balance of chromium (Cr), and other unavoidable impurities with respect to a total weight of the alloy; and (Step 2) solution treating the alloy melted in Step 1. The chromium-aluminum binary alloy may be easily produced and has ductility, thus being highly applicable as a coating material for a material requiring high-temperature corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

Abstract:
Disclosed are a zirconium alloy for a nuclear fuel cladding having a good oxidation resistance in a severe reactor operation condition and a method of preparing zirconium alloy nuclear fuel claddings by using thereof. The zirconium alloy includes 1.8 to 2.0 wt % of niobium (Nb); at least one element selected from iron (Fe), chromium (Cr) and copper (Cu); 0.1 to 0.15 wt % of oxygen (O); 0.008 to 0.012 wt % of silicon (Si) and a remaining amount of zirconium (Zr). The amount of Fe is 0.1 to 0.4 wt %, the amount of Cr is 0.05 to 0.2 wt %, and the amount of Cu is 0.03 to 0.2 wt %. A good oxidation resistance of the nuclear fuel cladding may be confirmed under a severe reactor operation condition at an accident condition as well as a normal operating condition of a reactor, thereby improving economic efficiency and safety.

Disclosed are a zirconium alloy for a nuclear fuel cladding having a good oxidation resistance in reactor accident conditions, a zirconium alloy nuclear fuel cladding prepared by using thereof and a method of preparing the same. The zirconium alloy includes 1.0 to 1.2 wt % of niobium (Nb); at least one element selected from tin (Sn), iron (Fe) and chromium (Cr); 0.02 to 0.1 wt % of copper (Cu); 0.1 to 0.15 wt % of oxygen (0); 0.008 to 0.012 wt % of silicon (Si) and a remaining amount of zirconium (Zr). The amount of Sn is 0.1 to 0.3 wt %, the amount of Fe is 0.3 to 0.8 wt %, and the amount of Cr is 0.1 to 0.3 wt %. A good oxidation resistance of the nuclear fuel cladding may be confirmed under accident conditions as well as normal operating conditions of a reactor, thereby improving economic efficiency and safety.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a zirconium alloy cladding with improved oxidation resistance at a high temperature and a method of manufacturing the same. More particularly, the zirconium alloy cladding includes a zirconium alloy cladding; and a Cr—Al thin film coated on the cladding, wherein the thin film is deposited through arc ion plating and the content of Al in the thin film is 5% by weight to 20% by weight.
