Title: THE TECHNOLOGY OF ZIRCONIUM AND ITS ALLOYS. PART 2. CORROSION BEHAVIOUR IN CONTACT WITH VARIOUS MEDIA MECHANICAL PROPERTIES, INCLUDING TENSILE AND IMPACT STRENGTH, CREEP PROPERTIES, AND EFFECTS OF NEUTRON IRRADIATION

Journal Article · · Chem. & Proc. Eng.
OSTI ID:4218208

The corrosion behavior of zirconium and its alloys in contact with gases, high-temperature water, steam, and liquid metals is discussed. The mechanical properties, including hardness and tensile and inpact strength are reviewed. The results of creep tests on zirconium, zircaloy 2, and zircaloy 3 are given. Neutron irradiation effects on zirconium and its alloys are discussed. (C.J.G.)
