Abstract

Niobium is introduced to uranium to enhance the corrosion resistance of metallic uranium, while duplex U-Nb alloy exhibits anomalous degradation to hydrogen corrosion. To understand the underlying mechanism, we employed high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to characterize the structure of the phase interface in duplex U-Nb alloy and its interaction with hydrogen and vacancy. Combined with the different behaviors of hydrogen in the two phases of the duplex U-Nb alloy, a mechanism contributing to the observed abnormal degradation is proposed, corroborated by the special distribution of hydride within the duplex U-Nb alloy.

揭示双相铀铌合金异常降解的机理

铌被引入铀中以增强金属铀的耐腐蚀性，而双相铀铌合金在氢腐蚀下表现出异常降解。为了解其内在机理，我们采用高分辨率透射电子显微镜（HRTEM）和密度泛函理论（DFT）计算来表征双相铀铌合金中的相界面结构及其与氢和空位的相互作用。结合氢在双相 U-Nb 合金两相中的不同行为，我们提出了一种导致所观察到的异常降解的机制，而氢化物在双相 U-Nb 合金中的特殊分布也证实了这一点。
