PROPERTIES OF HYDRIDED ZIRCONIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4157703

The properties of hydrided zirconium at hydrogen contents of 2.70, 3.40, and 4.00 NH are presented, although data were not available for all of the properties at each NH. Dath obtained under GE-ANPD authorization and from available literature were compiled. The properties reported consist of density, tensile strength, and hardness from room temperature to 1600 deg F, creep and stress rupture from 800 to 1600 deg F, linear thermal expansion from room temperature to 1400 deg F, specific heat from 32 to 1400 deg F, and thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity from 100 to 1000 deg F.
