Abstract: Seven kinds of Zr-Cu-Cr alloy samples were prepared by using crystalline zirconium as the base material, through normalized processing and annealing at 600 ℃/5 h. The corrosion tests were carried out in static autoclave with different water chemistry conditions, and the microstructures of alloys were studied by using EBSD, SEM and TEM to investigate the effects of Cu and Cr interaction on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of zirconium alloys. The results show that the addition of Cu element refines the recrystallized grains. When the Cr content is 1.0%, it has grains with a size of 40 μm or more. There are two kinds of second phases in Zr-Cu-Cr alloys. Zr₂Cu phase (bct) with a size of 100 nm or more and ZrCr₂ phase (hcp) with a size of 60 nm or less. As the content of Cu increases, the number of Zr₂Cu increases. As the content of Cr increases, the size of ZrCr₂ phase does not change obviously, but the number and distribution band density increase. When exposed to the superheated steam at 400 ℃/10.3 MPa, the corrosion resistance of Zr-0.3Cu-0.2Cr and Zr-0.3Cu-0.5Cr alloys is worse, the other alloys still don’t have corrosion transition after corroding 100 days, and the corrosion resistance is better. Zr-1.0Cr alloy has the best corrosion resistance. When exposed to the 360 ℃/18.6 MPa/0.01 mol/L LiOH aqueous solution for 42 days, all of alloys have poor corrosion resistance, and the addition of Cu element reduces their corrosion resistance.
