JOINING GRAPHITE PIECES

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4098133
A method is given for joining graphite surfaces, which comprises induction heating the surfaces in a Ni(CO)/sub 4/H/sub 2/ atm. at 300 to 500 ts C in order to coat the surfaces with nickel and then followed by pressing them against each other at 1300 ts C. A separate nickel or zirconium bending disk can be fixed between the coatings before pressing. The method can be applied for joining moderator blocks or for capping graphite-canned fuel elements with graphite. (NPO)
