Abstract

Workpieces made from a Zr alloy containing Nb 0.5-5%; Sn not more than 3%; Fe, Ni, Cr, Ta, Pd, Mo, W not more than 0.5% each and 2% in total are cold worked and then heat treated at 550-590 DEG C. for a time sufficient to improve their resistance to corrosion by high temperature water and steam. The cold working step may be preceded by heat treatment or hot working at 640-1000 DEG C., followed by quenching or air cooling and may involve intermediate anneals at 550-590 DEG C. or 640-1000 DEG C. The heat treatment at 550-590 DEG C. may be followed by further heat treatment at less than 550 DEG C. and/or further light cold working.
