The results of an experiment to determine the effect of 900 to 10000 ppm oxygen on the tensile strength, hardness, hot and cold fabricability, corrosion resistance in 680 deg F water and in 750 deg F, 1500 psi steam, and on the microstructural and phase transformation temperature limit changes of Zircaloy-2 are discussed. It is shown that oxygen effectively raises the 0.2% yield and tensile strengths, decreases the corrosion resistance of Zircaloy-2 at contents in excess of 2000 ppm, raises the alpha to alpha + beta transus and displays a strong hardening effect which increases linearly with the square root of oxygen content.
