Correlation Between Electrochemical Properties and Corrosion Resistance of Zirconium Alloys

摘要

The electrochemical behavior of some zirconium alloys including Zry-2 with various sumAi from 2.5 x 10~(-20) to 1.2 x 10~(-17) (h), modified Zry-2 with iron contents of 0.15, 0.25, and 0.5percent, and standard Zry-4 was studied by measuring anodic polarization curves in sulfuric acid solution. The results of these electrochemical tests were compared with those of steam autoclave tests.
