Abstract

The tensile characteristics of Zr-Fe binary alloys containing up to 5 atomic pet Fe are reported for the temperature range—195° to 500°C. A linear relation between stress at constant strain and volume fraction ZrFe2 was found. The coincidence of data from unalloyed zirconium with zero volume fraction ZrFe2 indicated little or no solid solution in a-zirconium, in agreement with Hayes, Roberson, and O’Brien.1 The absolute increase in strength due to particle strengthening, although decreasing with increasing temperature, was a greater percentage at high temperature.
