Zircaloy
Zircaloy, also incorrectly called zircalloy, is a group of high-zirconium alloys. One of the main uses of zircaloys is in nuclear technology, as zirconium has very low absorption cross-section of thermal neutrons and therefore it is frequently used as cladding of fuel rods in nuclear reactors.
