Abstract

The fretting wear characteristics for Zircaloy-4 tube used as fuel rod in the nuclear power plant have been investigated. The fretting wear tester was designed and manufactured for this experiment. This study was focused on main factors of fretting wear, cycle, slip amplitude and normal load. The worn surfaces were observed by SEM.
