IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO THE MANUFACTURE OF NUCLEAR FUEL ELEMENTS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4010442
A method is presented for manufacturing finned cylindrical canning for reactor fuel elements. Hollow cylinders of the canning material, either Al or Mg, are pressed radially inward by dies distributed around the cylinder. Alternatively the fins may be formed by outward forcing of the canning material into the die or dies. The dies are shaped such that either circumferential, longitudinal, or helical fins may be formed, with longitudinal vanes. (T. F.H.)
