摘要: Abstract Alloy melting route is currently being considered for radioactive hulls immobilization. Towards this, wide range of alloys, belonging to Zirconium–Iron binary and Zirconium–Stainless steel pseudo-binary systems have been prepared through vacuum arc route. Detail microstructural characterization quantitative phase analyses these alloys along with interaction study between Zirconium Stainless coupons at elevated temperatures identify Zr(Fe,Cr) 2 , Zr(Fe,Cr), Zr (Fe,Cr), 3 (Fe,Ni), (Fe,Cr,Ni), β-Zr α-Zr as the most commonly occurring phases within system rich bulk compositions. Nano-indentation studies found extremely hard, (Fe,Ni) moderately ductile β-Zr, (Fe,Cr) ones among present. Steam oxidation based on weight gain/loss procedure mixed oxide layers, suggest that each responded corrosive environment differently. Fe O NiFe 4 NiO, monoclinic ZrO tetragonal are be common constituents layers developed alloys. Integrating microstructural, mechanical corrosion properties, ZrFeCrNi3 (Zr: 84.00, Fe: 11.20, Cr: 3.20, Ni: 1.60, in wt.%) identified acceptable base alloy disposal hulls.
