How to use it
Inspect the source, temperature range, property units and tensor orientation. Assign the material to the intended domains and check the active physics requirements.
Properties
| Property | Value (including units when dimensional) |
|---|---|
| rho | 6551[kg/m^3] |
| E | 9.1e+10[Pa] |
| nu | 0.37 |
| thermalConductivity | 13.4[W/(m*K)] |
| heatCapacity | 286.000[J/(kg*K)] |

Conditions
- Electrical model: Stationary isotropic Ohmic conduction only. The source table does not report permittivity or frequency-dependent electrical properties.
- Material model: Isotropic linear elastic and scalar thermal properties.
- Notes: The source reports a generic Zircaloy property table spanning listed Zircaloy-2 and Zircaloy-4 compositions.
- Reference state: The handbook's Room Temperature Properties table; the exact common temperature is not specified.

Result
The assigned domains use the listed material properties in the next solve.
Troubleshooting
Do not extrapolate a constant or tabulated value outside its stated conditions without justification. A material name alone does not establish suitability for your experiment.
