Zirconium alloys are currently used in all commercially operated light water and heavy water nuclear reactors. Devices in nuclear reactors have to serve for a very long time, quite faultlessly and without maintenance, and their environmental parameters can become very extreme. Zirconium alloys are affected by surrounding setting even during normal nuclear reactor operation, but at temperatures above 800 ° C dangerous high temperature corrosion occurs.
