Zusammenfassung:The invention proposes a zirconium-based alloy also containing, by weight, apart from unavoidable impurities, from 0.02 to 1% of iron having from 0.8% to 2.3% of niobium, less than 2000 ppm of tin, less than 2000 ppm of oxygen, less than 100 ppm of carbon, from 5 to 35 ppm of sulphur and from 0.01% to 0.25% in total of chromium and/or vanadium, the ratio R of the niobium content, less 0.5%, to the iron content, optionally supplemented by the chromium and/or vanadium content.
