摘要
Diffusion bonding of stainless steel to Zircaloy-4 in the presence of Ta as interlayer has been investigated using diffusion couples heat treated at 1150 degreesC under vacuum for 3 h. Different types of regions have been observed in stainless steel, Zircaloy-4 and Ta foil. A Cr rich layer formed in stainless steel is found to act as a diffusion barrier. A region observed with the Ta foil in Zircaloy-4 is rich in Cr, Ta, Fe and Zr while two zones are formed in Zircaoly-4 containing Zr, Ta, Cr, Fe and Ni. The zone rich in Zr gives black contrast and the other zone gives grey contrast and these are identified as eutectic phases of the type TaCr2-Liq.-beta-Zr and Ta(Cr,Fe)(2)-Liq.-beta-Zr.
