Abstract
In the present work, a transition in the oxidation kinetics of Zr-based alloys is investigated theoretically. The development of undulations of the oxide–metal interface is suggested to be a precursor of the transition. The analysis is based on finding conditions when the mechanical energy of the metal and the oxide film is minimal. The parameters of the wavy structure are related to the material’s mechanical and microstructure properties. The theoretical findings are in agreement with a number of experimental studies of the transition in the oxidation kinetics.
