SOME PRELIMINARY MEASUREMENTS WITH AN APPARATUS FOR STUDYING THE FRETTING CORROSION OF ZIRCALOY-2

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4067520

A special apparatus was designed and constructed for studying the fretting corrosion of Zircaloy-2 specimens in replenished water at about 280 deg C under bearing loads of 500 to 4000 lb/in./sup 2/ Prefilming (in water at 360 deg C) reduced penetration in the early stages of fretting, but probably has no permanent effect. More hydrogen was picked up during fretting corrosion of a surface than is picked up by that surface corroding normally; however, the amount picked up was small relative to the hydrogen equivalent to the metal consumed by fretting.
