Summary: All experimental work under the Corrosion Mechanism task has been completed. The remaining topical reports are being prepared by D. L. Douglass, now on assignment at Mol. Experimental work on the first round of 31 alloys and on the second round of 10 alloys has been completed. Steam exposures of at least 3000 hours were finished for all the alloys at all test temperatures, with exposures of some coupons to 6700 hours. Mathematical expression have been derived to describe all first round data for corrosion rates and hydriding rates at 300, 400, and 500 degrees C as a function of Nb, Cr, Fe, and Cu content. Solution of the equations for particular service temperatures yield Zr-Cr alloys at optimum at lower temperatures and Zr-Cu-Fe alloys as optimum at the higher temperatures. The second round test results show that neither Ni nor Be additions to Zr-Cr or Zr-Cu improve the performance over that of the optimum Zr-Cr or Zr-Cu-Fe alloys. For the first round heat treatment used, post-corrosion ductility depends on two factors in addition to alloy composition and hydrogen content: crystallographic texture and intermetallic aging reactions. Alloys with a high original ductility are embrittled less by a given amount …
