Abstract

A corrosion resistant zirconium based alloy for use in nuclear fuel cladding is made of a low tin content zirconium alloy consisting essentially of: by weight percent, 0.60-2.0 Nb; when Sn is 0.25, then Fe is 0.50; when Sn is 0.40, then Fe is 0.35 to 0.50; when Sn is 0.50, then Fe is 0.25 to 0.50; when Sn is 0.70, then Fe is 0.05 to 0.50; when Sn is 1.0, then Fe is 0.05 to 0.50 (area 10 of FIG. 1); where the weight percent of Fe plus Sn is greater than 0.75, with no more than 0.50 additional other component elements and with the remainder Zr.
