We propose Nb-1Zr-0.1C alloy as an alternate candidate for SCRF cavity application. The material having a good combination of mechanical properties like strength, ease of deformability, ability to withstand adverse conditions like radiation exposure and higher first penetration field HP than niobium metal makes it another candidate material for superconducting cavity application.
