EVALUATION OF WELDED AND SEAMLESS ZIRCONIUM AND ZIRCALOY-2 TUBING. Final Report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4078280
Work on the evaluation of zirconium and Zircaloy-2 tubing fabricated by welding or extrusion is reviewed. It was concluded that a satisfactory method of fabrication exists for producing most sizes of seamless tubing investigated; it also was concluded that substantial improvement is necessary in the welding operation to minimize contamination and improve yields of welded tubing. Seamless tubing appears more nearly to meet reactor requirements, based on the tests conducted and on a logical extrapolation of improvement in fabrication technology. (J.R.D.)
