Oxidation behavior of Ce ions-implanted Zr-4 alloy at high temperature
In order to investigate the oxidation behavior of Zr-4 induced by Ce ion implantation at different fluences
mass gain curves of the different specimens including as-received Zr-4 and Ce ions-implanted Zr-4 were measured after oxidation in air at 500℃. It was obviously found that a significant improvement was achieved in the oxidation behavior of Ce ions-implanted Zr-4. The depth profile of the element composition was obtained by AES
and the va-lence of the oxides in the scale was analyzed by XPS. The phase transformation in the oxide films was examined by GAXRD showing that the addition of Ce had transformed the phase from monoclinic ZrO2 to hexagonal ZrO2. Finally
mechanism of the improvement of the oxidation behavior was discussed.
