Low-Pressure Oxidation of Zirconium

Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

Low‐pressure oxidation of zirconium at high temperatures exhibited a pressure dependence, and several stages of oxidation could be distinguished: an initial period was followed by two periods with a linear rate dependence. Transition from the first linear period to the following linear period was accompanied by increase in oxidation rate. Surface reaction control is suggested for these periods. Linear oxidation was followed by a period when the rate was limited by a protective oxide film.
