Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to elucidate a mechanism of localized corrosion on zirconium (Zr) in chloride-containing environment. The experiments were performed by using special electrochemical measurement system that enables to measure the corrosion behavior within the micrometer-scale area. As a result, it was found that the pitting corrosion was initiated on the inclusions derived from the impurity elements in Zr substrate. However, the concentration of the impurities were extremely small so that the inclusion size were tiny and they were rarely exposed to the surface. In other words, Zr has potentially excellent corrosion resistance even in chloride-containing environments. The surface modification technique which can improve the localized corrosion resistance of Zr was developed based on the above findings. It must be a great achievement to enhance the usage of Zr not only in medical field but also general industrial one.
