Abstract  The corrosion behaviors of Zr-Sn-Nb alloy (N18, N36) developed in China have been studied by out-of-pile autoclave in 360℃ wate r with 70 μg/g Li,in 400℃ and 500℃ high pressure steam.The results show that the nodular corrosion for two kinds of alloys did not occur after 500h,and Zr-4 alloy did after 4h in high-pressure oxygen at 500℃;that the weight gain of N18 samples is lower than Zr-4,and of N36 is higher than Zr-4 after 245 days in 400 ℃ high pressure steam;that the weight gain for two kinds of alloys samples is o nly 16%-25% that of Zr-4 after 300 days in 360℃ water with 70 μg/g Li.N18 allo y possesse s good corrosion resistance in both high temperature water and high pressure ste am.Addition of alloying element Nb in Zr-Sn binary system,on the one hand,solid solution of Nb in α-Zr can resist the detrimental effect of C,N impurities on c orrosion behavior,on the another hand,the formation of α-Nb second phase partic les and their uniform distribution in alloy can reduce greatly the oxidation rat io in high temperature water and high pressure steam.The nonuniform growth of o xide film occurs at the oxide film/metal interface,and that of oxide film become s more distinct after oxidant transition.
