Title: CONTACT RESISTANCE AT A CVD-SIC/NI INTERFACE

Book ·
OSTI ID:1040991

The primary objectives of this task are: (1) to assess the properties and behavior of SiCf/SiC composites made from SiC fibers (with various SiC-type matrices, fiber coatings and architectures) before and after irradiation, and (2) to develop analytic models that describe these properties as a function of temperature and dose as well as composite architecture. In support of the U.S. dual-coolant lead-lithium (DCLL) fusion reactor blanket concept, recent efforts have focused on examining the electrical conductivity properties of SiCf/SiC composites considered for application in FCI-structures.
