To better understand the role of dissolved oxygen(DO) in affecting corrosion behavior of zirconium alloys,the Zr-0.85 Sn-0.16 Nb-0.37 Fe-0.18 Cr(wt.%) alloy was corroded in super-heated steam at 500℃ and 10.3 MPa und...To better understand the role of dissolved oxygen(DO) in affecting corrosion behavior of zirconium alloys,the Zr-0.85 Sn-0.16 Nb-0.37 Fe-0.18 Cr(wt.%) alloy was corroded in super-heated steam at 500℃ and 10.3 MPa under 1×10-6 DO and deaeration conditions.The microstructure of the alloy and oxide films was investigated by SEM,TEM,EDS and EBSD.Results show that the corrosion is aggravated under 1×10-6 DO.Compared with the deaeration condition,the oxide film is looser,and has more micro-cracks and more uneven inner surface under DO condition.For the oxide film forming under deaeration condition,the selected area diffraction(SAED) spots of planes(002)m,■ and(101)t are strong,while those of the(001)m and■ are weak.However,for the oxide film forming under DO condition,the SAED spots of planes(111)m,(200)m and(101)t are strong,while those of the(100)m and(110)m are weak.The higher DO content in super-heated steam accelerates the growth of oxide films,thus decreasing the corrosion resistance of zirconium alloys.展开更多
