Abstract
Zircaloy 2 and zircaloy 4 are zirconium alloys which are permitted and tried and tested in nuclear engineering and which have constituents with fixed concentration ranges. The properties, especially corrosion resistance, mechanical stability and sensitivity to pellet-cladding interaction of those alloys are subject to pronounced spreads of unknown origin. According to the invention, the tin content is between 1.4 and 1.8% by weight, the Fe content between 0.1 and 0.25% by weight, the Cr content between 0.1 and 0.3% by weight, the Si content between 0.05 and 0.02% by weight, the O content between 0.05 and 0.11% by weight, the C content below 0.02% by weight and the Ni content below 0.08% by weight. This restriction of the permissible concentration ranges ensures that the material properties are spread only within a narrow favorable range. A liner made from zirconium with an iron constituent of between 0.2 and 0.8% by weight is proposed for the inner lining of a fuel-rod sheathing tube.
