BREAKAWAY OXIDATION OF ZIRCONIUM-TIN ALLOYS

Journal Article · · Corrosion
A breakaway oxidation reaction is found for zirconium-tin alloys similar to the breakaway corrosion reaction found for steam reactions. As oxidation is a simple reaction to study, the basic breakaway phenomena may be elucidated. Data are given to show the breakaway oxidation of Zircaloy II at temperatures from 600 to 800 deg C.
