PROGRESS ON USAEC/AECL COOPERATIVE PROGRAM. Quarterly Report for Period September-November 1961
Progress on investigations of cold-bonding methods and creep-rupture properties in areas of interest to the Canadian reactor program is reported. The effects of surface roughness in cold-joining zircaloy-2 and Type 410 stainless steel were studled. Additional experiments were conducted using gold and silver as intermediate layers. Frictionbonding studies were devoted to the feasibility of end capplng SAP alloy fuel sheaths by friction methods. Encouraging results in forming end-cap configurations were attained by a friction-extrusion technique. The explosivejoining studies emphasized the optimization of charge parameters as related to impacting previously roll-formed assemblies. (M.C.G.)
