Abstract
The structure and some mechanical properties of electrolytic chromium coatings deposited on the inner surface of the fuel cladding made of EP823-Sh ferritic-martensitic steel were studied. It was shown that the optimal temperature of the electrolytic bath for deposition of hard dense coatings without cracks is 30–35°C at a current density of 0.15–0.18 A/cm2. At higher temperatures, finely dispersed columnar chromium crystals are deposited, texture appears, and microcracks are formed, which reduces the protective properties of the coating. Nanohardness, elastic modulus, elastic limit, ultimate relative deformation, tensile fracture limit, and abrasive wear resistance of the coatings are determined.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research contains translations of research articles devoted to applied aspects of inorganic materials. Best articles are selected from four Russian periodicals: Materialovedenie, Perspektivnye Materialy, Fizika i Khimiya Obrabotki Materialov, and Voprosy Materialovedeniya and translated into English. The journal reports recent achievements in materials science: physical and chemical bases of materials science; effects of synergism in composite materials; computer simulations; creation of new materials (including carbon-based materials and ceramics, semiconductors, superconductors, composite materials, polymers, materials for nuclear engineering, materials for aircraft and space engineering, materials for quantum electronics, materials for electronics and optoelectronics, materials for nuclear and thermonuclear power engineering, radiation-hardened materials, materials for use in medicine, etc.); analytical techniques; structure–property relationships; nanostructures and nanotechnologies; advanced technologies; use of hydrogen in structural materials; and economic and environmental issues. The journal also considers engineering issues of materials processing with plasma, high-gradient crystallization, laser technology, and ultrasonic technology. Currently the journal does not accept direct submissions, but submissions to one of the source journals is possible.
