Abstract
Steam oxidation of Zircaloy-2 produces tensile extension; at a given temperature the strain increases parabolically with time. Oxygen dissolution in Zircaloy-2 during oxidation stabilises the α-phase and causes lattice dilatation. These two observations are used to develop a model of the oxidation-induced deformation behaviour of the stabilised α-layer and hence to calculate the stress distribution across the layer.
