The corrosion properties of Zr were studied with the addition of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, W, Re, Y, Nb, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ta, Os, and Ir (from 0.05 to 1.6%) in a 50% solution of HNO/sub 3/ at 35 deg C on the basis of 48 g weight loss. The greatest increase in the resistance of Zr to corrosion resulted from the addition of Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, or Ir. The addition of Y, V, Nb, and Ta increased the corrosion resistance of Zr less, while Ti, Cr, Mn, Mo, W, and Re increase it still less. The corrosion resistance of Zr is discussed on the basis of the electron structure of the metal. (JPRS)
