Development and applications of zirconium alloys with high strength and toughness

Zirconium(Zr)and Zr alloys have good dimensional stability, irradiation resistance and corrosion resistance. As a result, they have important application prospects in the fields of aerospace, navigation, nuclear reactor and biological medicine. But the strength of pure Zr and widely used Zr alloys is low,hence it is a key step to enhance its mechanical properties to make them successfully applied in structural materials. The paper briefly reviewsthe development of Zr and Zr alloys in nuclear,chemicalindustry,medical,aviation, navigation and other fields. This paper also focuses on the introduction of the design and preparation of a new type of Zr alloy with high strength and toughness. The optimum composition of Zr alloy used in space exploration,deep sea exploration and high-speed railway is obtained. The strengthening mechanism of the new Zr alloy as well as its applications in the fields of nuclear power, chemical engineering and aviation are also described in details.
