UNS R60704 Zirconium-Tin Alloy

R60704 alloy is a zirconium alloy. Cited properties are appropriate for the annealed condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare R60704 alloy to: zirconium alloys (top), all alloys in the same category (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
