RISMitigating the Stress Corrosion Cracking of Zircaloy 4 Fuel Sheathing: Siloxane Coatings Revisited
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For more than 50آ years, a thin (3–20آ خ¼m) graphite coating has played an important role in limiting the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of Zircaloy4 fuel sheathing in CANDUآ® nuclear reactors. Siloxane coatings, which ...
The Effect of Alkali Metal and Alkaline Earth Metal Impurities on the Iodine-Induced Corrosion of CANDU Fuel Sheathing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During normal operation in Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU®) reactors, the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of fuel sheathing is mitigated effectively, in part, using a thin graphite-based coating known as CANDU lubricant ...
