摘要
Oxidation tests of boronated graphite, which has been adopted as a neutron absorber material in the HTTR (High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor), were carried out in helium, containing water vapor, at up to 1000-degrees-C from a viewpoint of oxidation of B4C. It could be shown that the oxidation reaction of the boronated graphite consists of three reactions, i.e. B4C + 6H2O --> 2B2O3 + 6H2 + C(free carbon), C(free carbon) + H2O --> CO + H-2 and C(graphite) + H2O --> CO + H-2, and that the oxidation rates of the boronated graphite do not monotonously increase with temperature and are lower than that of graphite material due to the production of B2O3.
