Zusammenfassung:A zirconium-based alloy for the components of the active core of nuclear reactors comprises (on a weight percent basis): niobium, 0.5-3.0; iron, 0.005 - 0.5; oxygen, 0.03 - 0.2; carbon, 0.001 - 0.04; silicon, 0.002 - 0.1; nickel, 0.003 - 0.02; zirconium being the balance; the alloy structure is characterized by an alpha -solid solution and the beta Nb-phase particles sized below 0.1 mu m and having the niobium content of from 60 to 95%. The alloy may further comprise particles of intermetallics Zr-Fe-Nb with the Fe/Nb ratio of 0.05 - 0.2. The alloy structure may also be characterized by an oxygen-hardened alpha -solid solution and by the beta Nb-phase particles, and may further comprise particles of intermetallics Zr-Fe-Nb sized below 0.3 mu m.
