The burst tests at room temperature,350 ℃ and 400 ℃ of two kinds of zirconium alloys for nuclear reactor were studied.By analyzing results from burst tests,it is shown that the burst strengths of the two kinds of zirconium alloys decreased with testing temperatures rising.The No.2 alloy was stronger than No.1.By observing the opening of the burst,burst swellings at 350 ℃ and 400 ℃ were bigger than at the room temperature,the openings were smaller.The directions of the opening growths were different from the axial directions of the claddings,and the openings of burst were ductile fractures.
