Judge, C; Healey, D

Investigation and development of binary and ternary creep resisting alloys of zirconium continued. Most of the data presented were obtained at 300 and 450 deg C., and improvements achieved by thermal treatments led to the adoption of higher stress levels. Some further data at 600 deg C. are also given. Creep tests in air at 300 deg C. revealed that the binary tin alloys, Zircaloys, and niobium compositions have unexpected oxidation resistance at this temperature. (auth)
