The Effect of Annealing Temperature on the Microstructure and Properties of Cr–C–Al Coatings on Zircaloy-4 for Accident-Tolerant Fuel (ATF) Applications [PDF]

open access: yesCoatings, 2022
Elemental Cr/C/Al multilayers (stoichiometric ratio: 2:1:1) with and without a Cr overlayer have been synthesized on Zircaloy-4 substrates by magnetron sputtering. The effects of annealing temperatures (400 and 550 °C) on phase/microstructure formation, mechanical properties, and oxidation/corrosion performance have been comparatively studied ...
