FURNACE BRAZING OF ZIRCALOY
The furnace brazing of Zircaloy or Zircaloy-clad nuclear reactor components was investigated. The strength and corrosion resistance of brazements were determined and techniques were developed for preplacing the brazing alloy to prevent contamination and to maintain dimensional stability during brazing. Brazements of high strength and adequate dimensional accuracy were produced, but the brazing cycles impaired the corrosion resistance of Zircaloy in high-temperature steam and water. (auth)
