✦ Synopsis

In this paper, a computation model of corrosion rate versus grain size of nanocrystalline zirconium at high temperature has been presented. By this model, the corrosion rate and weight gain of zirconium metal under different temperature were calculated. The results show that the corrosion resistance of nanocrystalline zirconium is much superior to that of zirconium with coarse grain size. The corrosion rate constant and weight gain of nanocrystalline zirconium decrease with the decrease of grain size. So the refinement of grain size can remarkably improve the corrosion resistance of zirconium metal.

This research has studied the effect of N 2 /(N 2 + Ar) flow rate ratio (F (N 2 )) on the microstructure and anticorrosive property of zirconium nitride (ZrN) films deposited on AISI stainless steel (SS) 304 substrates. ZrN films were deposited using ion beam sputtering technique and their corrosion

Nanocrystalline nickel (8-28 nm) deposits were produced by direct and pulse current electrodeposition. The microhardness and microstrains in the deposits were estimated. Tribological testing indicated that the coefficient of friction (COF) for nanocrystalline nickel was almost half that of polycryst
