“…Boron carbide did not remain as an independent phase. This shows that the interaction of boron carbide with α-Zr(O), just as for zirconium, starts below 1800°C, in agreement with the data of [9]. In the STFM-B experiment No.…”

“…The Zr(O)-UO 2 -B 4 C system has not been previously studied experimentally. The investigation of the B 4 C-Zr interaction [9] showed that the reaction starts at temperatures above 1250°C and results in The interaction of oxidized α-Zr(O) with boron carbide likewise has not been investigated previously [10]. Consequently, experiments on studying the influence of boron carbide on stratification had to be preceded by an investigation of the behavior of boron carbide in contact with suboxidized melt in a temperature range up to complete melting of the entire system.…”

“…Indeed, the investigation of the B 4 C-Zr interaction showed that a reaction between B 4 C and Zr starts at 1250°C and leads to the ZrB 2 and ZrC formation [23]. In the MASCA test program, interactions within the U-Zr-B-C-O system were studied [24]: ZrB 2 and Zr(C, O) were preferentially formed.…”

“…Previous studies have used static methods to investigate the eutectic reaction between B4C and SS, with special focus on their chemical interaction, and the melt initiation accompanying the reaction. These studies visualized the molten material by observing samples after annealing tests (Hofmann et al, 1990, Nagase et al, 1997, Shibata et al, 2015, Sasaki et al, 2015. However, only few studies have performed experiments involving dynamic visualization even though the progress of melt growth and the melt behavior are unsteady and dynamic.…”
