Abstract:

Phase transformation of the Zr-1.0Sn-0.39Nb-0.31Fe-0.05Cr alloy was investigated by high temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD results revealed that the alloy contained two precipitates at room temperature, namely β-Nb and hexagonal Zr(Nb,Fe,Cr,)2. β-Nb was suggested to dissolve into the α-Zr matrix at the 580oC. Thin oxide film formed at the alloy’s surface was identified as mixture of the monoclinic Zr0.93O2 and tetragonal ZrO2, when the temperature reached to 750oC and 850 oC. The thermal expansion coefficients of αZr in this alloy was of αa = 8.39×10-6/°C, αc = 2.48×10-6/°C.
