The effect of testing procedure on DSC measurements of Gd-Ti-Zr alloy using ZrO2 container by Turalska P., Homa M., Sobczak N., Gazda A., Wierzbicka-Miernik A., Kaban I.

“…Under non-oxidizing conditions, the degradation of ZrO2 container can take place during DSC testing because the selected Gd40Ti30Zr30 alloy reacts with the ZrO2 to form a continuous interfacial reaction product layer. Under slightly oxidizing conditions, the gadolinium oxide formed in situ on the alloy surface, plays the role of a barrier for direct contact between molten alloy and container and thus may suppress or even prevent the degradation of the container and its subsequent strong bonding with the holder.…”
