The effect of Co and Sn on Zr-Nb alloys for high temperature application
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 June 2018
Abstract
Zirconium has attracted a lot of attention recently due to its distinctive properties that make it suitable for extensive applications in the nuclear power and chemical industry. Zirconium and its alloys are undergoing long-term development as promising materials for the nuclear industry and power engineering. Recently, advanced Zr-based alloys are aimed for service in more severe operating conditions such as higher burn-up, increased operation temperature, and high-PH operation. In this work we observe the temperature dependence of Zr50Nb50, Zr78Nb22, Zr78Nb19Co3 and Zr50Nb49Sn1. It was observed that ternary additions with small atomic percentages of Co and Sn have significant impact on Zr-Nb alloy; and their elastic properties showed a possible enhancement on high temperature applications and physical strength.
