Mechanical strength studies have shown that the tensile and creep properties of aluminum powder metallurgy (APM) products are superior to those of conventional wrought aluminum alloys, at temperatures above 800 deg F. APM alloy M257 was extruded into several longitudinallyfinned tubular shapes for the cladding of nuclear fuels. Techniques for joining APM alloys, including a diffusion bonding process developed for making end closures in M257-clad fuel tubes, are described. (auth)
