Zr-2 Alloys
Application of Zr-2 alloys
Zr-2 alloys were first used on the first nuclear submarine of the United States in 1955. After over two decades of practice, it was proved to be reliable as the fuel element cladding material and pressure pipe material for boiling water reactor and pressurized water reactor.
To improve the PCI resistance of Zr-2 alloys, United States has developed the Zr-2 Tube lining technology with pure Zirconium layer thickness of 80-100μm.
Zr-2 alloys are generally used in the manufacturing of boiling water reactors.
