ABSTRACT:
Zirconium alloys for use in an aqueous environment subject to high fluence of a water reactor and characterized by improved corrosion resistance, consisting essentially of 0.3 to 1.8 weight percent tin, 0.1 to 0.65 weight percent iron, the balance of alloys being essentially nuclear grade zirconium with incidental impurities and having a microstructure of Zr.sub.3 Fe second phase precipitates distributed uniformly intragranularly and intergranularly to form radiation resistant second phase precipitates in the alloy matrix.
