This book was released on 1989 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out-of-pile corrosion experiments form a part of the program implemented to progress in understanding power water reactor (PWR) fuel rod waterside corrosion. Thus, out-of-pile loop tests were performed in order to correlate the thermal/hydraulic and chemical environment of the fuel rods to the corrosion rates of the Zircaloy-4 cladding material. Comparison of corrosion data yielded by in-loop, PWR, and autoclave tests then made it possible to demonstrate the effects of heat flux on corrosion kinetics through the temperature gradient in the oxide layer. PWR corrosion data also showed that the activation energy corresponding to Zircaloy oxidation by water does not vary under neutron flux compared to out-of-pile conditions. The influence of irradiation is either a threshold phenomenon dependent on fast neutron flux or a factor related to the chemical environment (for example, inclusion of lithium by recoil effect caused by thermal neutrons). Different destructive examination techniques to characterize the zirconium oxide morphology and (Li/K) concentration profile in the oxide have allowed us to suggest a relationship between operating conditions, such as two-phase flow heat transfer, lithium hydroxide/potassium hydroxide (LiOH/KOH) levels at the metal-coolant interface, and the kinetics of the growing oxide film. Then, the corrosion model makes the following calculations possible: (1) the precise thermal/hydraulic conditions in the environment of the fuel rods in the core of a PWR; (2) the localized coolant pH and overconcentration of soluble species in the coolant under boiling regime and its influence on the waterside corrosion of the Zircaloy cladding; (3) the contribution of irradiation flux to the enhancement of the oxidation rate, and (4) the axial and azimuthal oxide thicknesses on fuel rods. Simultaneously, a study has consisted in correlating the behavior of the Zircaloy materials under different autoclave experiments, out-of-pile tests, and in-reactor conditions. The future objective is to include the metallurgical properties in the corrosion model.

This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to provide comprehensive and systematic introduction and summary of corrosion characteristics, mechanisms, and control methods of candidate alloys in sub- and supercritical water environment. First of all, corrosion types of candidate alloys and the effects of major alloying elements on corrosion resistance of potential alloys in sub- and supercritical water are compared and analyzed. At the same time, research status of candidate materials, and development and application trends of several corrosion-resistant alloys are summarized. Then, corrosion characteristics of Ni-Cr, Ni-Cr-Mo, Ni-Fe-Cr and Ni-Fe-Cr-Mo-Cu corrosion-resistant alloys, FeCrAl alloy, and Zircaloy are discussed in detail, including the corrosion rate, the structure and composition of oxide film, and the effects of various surface treatment processes, etc. More specifically, it also investigates corrosion behavior of Ni-based alloy, Fe-Ni-based, and stainless steels in supercritical water. The effects of aggressive species on the corrosion behavior of Ni-base alloys are also explored in supercritical water. Readers will further discover the total corrosion processes and mechanisms of typical candidate alloys in sub- and supercritical water environment. Finally, the work explores the corrosion control methods such as ceramic coatings and passivation processes in supercritical water oxidation and in subcritical water, respectively. Future challenges and development trends of corrosion research of candidate materials in sub- and supercritical water environments are covered at the end of this book. It offers valuable reference for theoretically guiding material selection and design and operating parameter optimization of key equipment in the sub- and supercritical water technologies. The book is written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, scholars, and researchers who are interested in corrosion behavior of candidate materials of supercritical water oxidation system, supercritical water gasification system, and nuclear reactor.

Download or read book Comprehensive Nuclear Materials written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 4871 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Materials in a nuclear environment are exposed to extreme conditions of radiation, temperature and/or corrosion, and in many cases the combination of these makes the material behavior very different from conventional materials. This is evident for the four major technological challenges the nuclear technology domain is facing currently: (i) long-term operation of existing Generation II nuclear power plants, (ii) the design of the next generation reactors (Generation IV), (iii) the construction of the ITER fusion reactor in Cadarache (France), (iv) and the intermediate and final disposal of nuclear waste. In order to address these challenges, engineers and designers need to know the properties of a wide variety of materials under these conditions and to understand the underlying processes affecting changes in their behavior, in order to assess their performance and to determine the limits of operation. Comprehensive Nuclear Materials, Second Edition, Seven Volume Set provides broad ranging, validated summaries of all the major topics in the field of nuclear material research for fission as well as fusion reactor systems. Attention is given to the fundamental scientific aspects of nuclear materials: fuel and structural materials for fission reactors, waste materials, and materials for fusion reactors. The articles are written at a level that allows undergraduate students to understand the material, while providing active researchers with a ready reference resource of information. Most of the chapters from the first Edition have been revised and updated and a significant number of new topics are covered in completely new material. During the ten years between the two editions, the challenge for applications of nuclear materials has been significantly impacted by world events, public awareness, and technological innovation. Materials play a key role as enablers of new technologies, and we trust that this new edition of Comprehensive Nuclear Materials has captured the key recent developments. Critically reviews the major classes and functions of materials, supporting the selection, assessment, validation and engineering of materials in extreme nuclear environments Comprehensive resource for up-to-date and authoritative information which is not always available elsewhere, even in journals Provides an in-depth treatment of materials modeling and simulation, with a specific focus on nuclear issues Serves as an excellent entry point for students and researchers new to the field
