Abstract

The oxidation processes are studied of untreated and radiation-oxidation preliminary treated (in an H2O2 solution at room temperature) zirconium specimens in contact with water by reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy. A comparison is performed of their kinetic characteristics. Passivation of the metal surface is revealed as evidence of the surface oxide layer.
