Abstract
The beneficial effect of aluminum ion implantation on the oxidation behavior of ZIRLO alloy at 500 °C has been studied. ZIRLO alloy specimens were implanted with aluminum ions with fluence range from 1×1016 to 1×1018 ion/cm2, using a MEVVA source at an extraction voltage of 40 kV at maximum temperature of 380 °C. The weight gain curves were measured after being oxidized in the air at 500 °C for 120 min, which showed that a significant improvement was achieved in the oxidation behavior of ZIRLO alloy implanted with aluminum compared with that of the virgin ZIRLO alloy. It has been obviously found that when the fluence is 1×1018 ion/cm2, the oxidization of the implanted ZIRLO alloy is reduced into 30% of the virgin ZIRLO alloy.
