Abstract
This thesis is a report on the mechanical, nuclear, electrical and chemical properties of the zirconium and five zirconium-base binary alloys: zirconium-tin alloys, zirconium-aluminium alloys, zirconium-titanium alloys, zirconium-niobium alloys, and zirconium-hafnium alloys. The peculiarities of these alloys, as related to its history, heat treatment and composition, are discussed. This work discusses the effect of temperature and impurities such as carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen on mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of zirconium and zirconium alloys. Zirconium metal production is briefly discussed. Empirical formula, by which the thermal conductivity of zirconium alloys can be calculated by the measurements of thermal resistivity, is shown.
