Thyristor turn off time in circuit with RL load?
SCR stands for Silicon Controlled Rectifier, while the diode is just a Silicon Rectifier. Both devices would behave in same manner, what you get is just a additional voltage drop on diode, but nothing else.
You can search for half wave rectifier with inductive load and you will see that it's almost the same, except that with SCR you can also control the conduction angle. Combining SCR and diode in series would give the same.
