Abstract:
We describe the methods and results of investigation of the characteristics of strength and plasticity of a pilot batch of tubes made of KTTs-110 zirconium alloy under the conditions of short- and long-term static loading. The obtained results are compared with the same characteristics of É-110 alloy extensively used in the active zones of WWÉR-1000-type nuclear reactors.
