The effect of Sn on autoclave corrosion performance and corrosion mechanisms in Zr-Sn-Nb alloys

The desire to improve the corrosion resistance of Zr cladding material for hig h burn-up has resulted in a general trend among fuel manufacturers to develop alloys with reduced levels of Sn. While commonly accepted, the reason for the improved corrosion performance observed for low-tin zirconium all...
