Abstract
The electrochemical characteristics and changes in the parameters of t he thin structure of single zirconium crystals, whose effective surfac es were nonsingular stepped faces [n(100) - (101)] (where n is the num ber of atomic rows on a terrace) are investigated. It is demonstrated that crystallographic orientation exerts a significant influence on co rrosion rate. During the absorption of hydrogen and further ''aging'' of specimens, the hydrogen that had been implanted in the lattice is r edistributed from nonstable tetrahedral positions on the terrace to st able octapores on the steps.
