Abstract

The tribocorrosion behavior of the three representative dissolver materials, namely zirconium (Zr) alloy, 310 stainless steel (SS), and titanium (Ti) alloy in HNO₃ was systematically investigated by SEM, XPS, and Nanoindentation. The results revealed that Zr alloy possesses high corrosion resistance but a less favorable tribocorrosion resistance, whereas 310 SS presents a comparatively better tribocorrosion resistance but insufficient corrosion resistance. Moreover, both the coefficient of friction and wear loss of all three alloys were decreased at 0.8 V compared to −0.8 V, demonstrating an antagonistic effect of corrosion on wear, attributed to the lubrication and hardness enhancement of oxide layers. The present work offers a new perspective on the tribocorrosion behavior of continuous dissolvers used for reprocessing spent nuclear fuel.
