Abstract

The constant stress tensile deformation behavior of commercial Zr702, used in spent fuel reprocessing industry, was investigated in 108 °C/200 MPa nitric acid solutions and non-corrosive silicone oil. Microscopic characterization of surface as well as cross-section of deformed Zr702 was carried out. In silicone oil, there were minimal cracks observed on the sample's surface. However, a significant number of cracks appeared on the sample's surface in nitric acid solutions. In nitric acid solutions, at the interface between the oxide layer and the matrix, cracks occurred, extended, the oxide film fractured, cracks further expanded, and the stress concentration at the cracks tip led to the formation of new cracks. This cyclic process resulted in the strength of the material decreasing and accelerated failure.

恒定应力加载下 Zr702 在沸腾硝酸溶液中的加速破坏行为

研究了用于乏燃料后处理工业的商用 Zr702 在 108 °C/200 MPa 硝酸溶液和非腐蚀性硅油中的恒应力拉伸变形行为。对变形 Zr702 的表面和横截面进行了显微表征。在硅油中，样品表面观察到的裂纹极少。但在硝酸溶液中，样品表面出现了大量裂纹。在硝酸溶液中，氧化层和基体之间的界面出现裂纹，裂纹扩展，氧化膜破裂，裂纹进一步扩展，裂纹尖端的应力集中导致新裂纹的形成。这种循环过程导致材料强度下降，加速了材料的失效。
