Investigation of interdiffusion behavior in the Mo–Zr binary system via diffusion couple studies
چکیده انگلیسی


• Diffusion investigation from 750 to 1050 °C for Mo–Zr system
• Parabolic growth constants were determined for the Mo2Zr phase.
• Interdiffusion coefficients for β-Zr solid solution were determined.
• Interdiffusion coefficients in β-Zr decreased with an increase in Mo content.

Zirconium has recently garnered attention for use as a diffusion barrier between U–Mo metallic nuclear fuels and Al alloy cladding. In order to gain a fundamental understanding of the diffusional interactions, the interdiffusion behavior in the binary Mo–Zr system was investigated via solid-to-solid diffusion couples annealed in the temperature range of 750 to 1050 °C. A combination of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, and electron probe microanalysis were used to examine the microstructure and concentration profiles across the interdiffusion zone. A large β-Zr (cI2) solid solution layer and a thin (~ 1–2 μm) layer of Mo2Zr (cF24) developed in all couples. Parabolic growth constants and concentration dependent interdiffusion coefficients were calculated for the Mo2Zr and Zr solid solution phases, respectively. The pre-exponential factor and activation energy for growth of the Mo2Zr phase were determined to be approximately 6.5 × 10− 15 m2/s and 90 kJ/mol, respectively. The interdiffusion coefficient in β-Zr solid solution decreased with an increase in Mo concentration. Both the pre-exponential factors (2 × 10− 8 m2/s at 2 at.% Mo to near 5 × 10− 8 m2/s at 9 at.% Mo) and activation energies (140 kJ/mol at 2 at.% Mo to approximately 155 kJ/mol at 9 at.% Mo) of interdiffusion coefficients were determined to increase with an increase in Mo concentration.
