Abstract
The effects of the annealing temperature on the initial hydriding kinetics of Cr-alloyed uranium was studied in this work and correlated with heat induced surface processes. Characterization of the surface passivation layer following annealing at different temperatures was performed by surface analysis techniques. It was found that two principal surface processes are affecting the initial kinetic features. One is the outgassing and the other is the segregation / diffusion of oxygen. The effects of these two processes were separated by measuring the time needed to complete 1% of the total hydriding reaction.
