MAGNESIUM ALLOYS FOR FUEL-ELEMENT COMPONENTS

Journal Article · · J. Inst. Metals
OSTI ID:4020032

Discussions are presented on the feasibility of using magnesium and its alloys for fuel element components. The discussions are on such topics as grain boundaries; intergranular cavitations; effects of temperature, stress, and grain size on the mode of fatigue failure; effects of additions of aluminum, lead, and zinc on the fatigue at room temperature and at 250 deg C; creep resistance; and variation of elongation with temperature for coarse grained alloys. Properties and physical characteristics of special types of alloys are also discussed. (N.W.R.)
