Abstract: The invention concerns a zirconium alloy, containing, besides unavoidable impurities, 0.02 to 1 % iron, 0.8 to 2.3 % niobium, less than 2000 ppm of tin, less than 2000 ppm of oxygen, less than 100 ppm of carbon, from 5 to 35 ppm of sulphur and less than a total of 0.25 % of chromium and/or vanadium. The ratio of niobium content over iron content, optionally completed with chromium and/or vanadium content, is less than 3. The invention is applicable to nuclear reactor components.

Abstract: A tube, for use in a fuel canister or to guide a control rod in a nuclear reactor, is made of an alloy comprising mainly Zr plus 0.4-0.6 wt.% Sn, 0.5-0.8% Fe, 0.35-0.75% V, 0.10-0.18% O, 100-180 ppm C and 50-120 ppm Si, the alloy being completely recrystallised. Also claimed is a process for mfg. the above tube in which a cast ingot of the above alloy is forged into a bar, then heated to the beta phase and quenched in water, annealed in the alpha phase at 640-760, pref. 730 degrees C, drawn and pierced to tubular form, annealed again at 640-760, pref. 700 degrees C, and then subjected to successive cold rollings to reduce the tube wall thickness with heating to 640-760 degrees C under vacuum or inert atmosphere between rollings. Finally the tube is annealed at 560-650 degrees C. The parameter A representing the sum of heat treatments is between 10 and 10 .

Abstract: A process for mfg. a tube, for forming all or the external part of a nuclear fuel rod cladding or a guide tube for a nuclear fuel assembly, involves (a) producing a rod of Zr alloy contg. 50-250 ppm. Fe, 0.8-1.3 wt.% Nb, less than 1600 ppm. O, less than 200 ppm. C and less than 120 ppm. Si; (b) water quenching the rod from 1000-1200 degrees C; (c) heating to 600-800 degrees C and extruding a tube blank; (d) cold rolling to tube in at least four passes with intermediate anneals at 560-620 degrees C; and (e) subjecting to final heat treatment at 560-620 degrees C. All the heat treatments are carried out in vacuum or inert atmos. Also claimed is a cladding or guide tube for a fuel assembly of a PWR, the tube consisting of the Zr alloy described above in the fully recrystallised condition.
