Abstract:The hydrogenation behavior of Cr-coated resistance upset welds (RUW) of E110 zirconium alloy was investigated at 360, 450 and 900 °C and a hydrogen pressure of 2 bar. The deposition of Cr coating, via magnetron sputtering, can decrease the hydrogen absorption rate of an RUW Zr alloy. The activation energy for the hydrogen absorption of Cr-coated specimens (84 kJ/mol) is higher in comparison with uncoated ones (71 kJ/mol), which indicates the deceleration of the hydriding of welded Zr alloys in the case of Cr c… Show more
