Abstract

This specification covers the six grades of zirconium and zirconium alloy ingots: Grade R60700, Grade R60702, Grade R60703, Grade R60704, Grade R60705, and Grade R60706. These materials shall be manufactured by electron beam, vacuum, or inert atmosphere melting in furnaces. The material shall form to the required chemical composition of zirconium, hafnium, iron, chromium, tin, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, niobium, and oxygen. Check analysis shall be performed. The following test methods shall be done: ultrasonic test and chemical test.
