IMPROVED ZIRCONIUM ALLOYS. Quarterly Report, October 1, 1962-December 31, 1962
A number of ternary compositions were developed for service in 680 deg F water which meet the objectives of a zirconium alloy improvement program on the basis of corrosion resistance, strength, and hydrogen pickup. These are compositions based on Zr-- 1Sb, Zr-- 1Cr, Zr--0.5Nb, and Zr--0.5Sn with minor additions of Te, Ge, Cr, or Fe. In 750 deg F steam, the materials Zr--3Cr-1Fe, Zr--3Cr--0.25Te, and Zr-- 1V--1Fe are initially acceptable on the basis of corrosion resistance and strength; however, hydrogen pickup is excessive. The current work is for the study of ternary alloys which are intended to show an optimum combination of corrosion, strength, and hydrogen-pickup properties. (auth)
