HYDROGEN PICKUP IN VARIOUS ZIRCONIUM ALLOYS DURING CORROSION EXPOSURE IN HIGH-TEMPERATURE WATER AND STEAM
The hydrcgen pickup during corrosion in hightemperature water and steam of various binary and tennary alloys of zirconium with iron and tin was studied. The total hydrogen content of specimens exposed to 400 tained C steam was found to be greater than that of specimens exposed to 360 tained C water. Furthermore, the per cent of theoretical hydrogen absorbed in the various alloys was markedly affected by the binary or tennary alloy addition. The per cent theoretical hydrogen absorbed by binary zirconium-iron alioys increased as the iron content was increased from 0.3 to 1.5 wt.% and the value for zirconium- tin alloys increased slightly as tin was increased from 0.5 to 0.9 wt.%. The hydrogen pickup behavior of tennary zirconium-tin-iron alloys reflected the behavior of zirconium-iron binary alloys. (auth)
