ABSTRACT:
A tube for constituting all or part of a cladding or guide tube for a fuel assembly is made from an alloy containing, by weight, 0.4% to 0.6% of tin, 0.5% to 0.8% of iron, 0.35% to 0.50% of vanadium, and 0.10% to 0.18% of oxygen, 100 ppm to 180 ppm of carbon and 50 ppm to 120 ppm of silicon. The alloy contains nothing else apart from zirconium and unavoidable impurities and it is completely recrystallized.
