Polykrystalická diamantová vrstva: vhodná ochrana povrchu zirkoniových slitin?

Abstract
The polycrystalline diamond layer (PCD) seems to be an appropriate protection reducing chemical activity of zirconium alloys. Its application could substantially enhance zirconium resistance against high-temperature corrosion and hydrogen absorption. This paper studies samples of zirconium alloys Zry-2 covered with a thin 300-nm PCD layer and exposed to steam at temperatures of 950 and 1150 °C. Transmission parameters and PCD layer morphology are studied using ex-situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results imply that the corrosion rate of the Zry-2 zirconium alloy is lower under high temperature.
