Abstract
Surface‐modified Zr alloy claddings with advanced ceramic coatings are promising materials for accident‐tolerant fuel (ATF) systems to meet stringent safety regulations concerning light water reactors. The applications of ceramic coatings are, however, limited as a result of inferior thermal stability when used in conjunction with Zircaloy‐4 (Zry‐4) substrates. Herein, the thermal stability of sub‐stoichiometric zirconium carbide barrier layers...
