This invention discloses a
zirconium alloy cladding composite protective
coating and its preparation method, comprising a first Mo layer, a second Mo layer, and a Cr layer arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The thickness ratio of the Cr layer to the second Mo layer is (3-7):1, and the thickness ratio of the first Mo layer to the second Mo layer is (2-5):1. The morphology of the first Mo layer is nanocrystalline, and the morphology of the second Mo layer is columnar
crystal. Compared with the prior art, the
zirconium alloy cladding composite protective
coating provided by this invention has a three-layer structure. The first Mo layer enhances the
coating density, the second Mo layer is responsible for achieving strong bonding with the Cr coating, the Cr coating is responsible for achieving resistance to high-temperature
water vapor corrosion and reducing the oxidation
weight gain of the
zirconium alloy, the first Mo layer can provide more
nucleation sites, promote dense deposition of the coating, and FCC is a tightly packed lattice with a higher
filling rate than BCC, resulting in better
corrosion resistance.
