Corrosion of zirconium base alloys - an overview
Description
History on the development of zirconium alloys for use as in-core material in water cooled reactors has shown the suitability of two types of alloys. In the first, studies based on Zr-Sn system have led to the emergence of two potential alloys zircaloy-2 and -4. In the other, extensive investigations on the Zr-Nb system have given rise again to two major alloys, namely Zr-1Nb and Zr-2.5Nb. The recent development of zirlo alloy with a composition Zr-lNb-lSn-0.1Fe is primarily considered for PWR application particularly for extended burn up levels. (author). 7 refs
