N Reactor pressure tube cold drawing simulation tests
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:719302
Pressure tubes are required at N Reactor for routine reactor retubing. Because the pressure tube inventory is insufficient for present and future retubing, Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC) has decided to fabricate tubes at a Hanford facility. During planning, WHC determined that the tube drawing parameters needed verification to enable scoping and specification of the tube manufacturing process. Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) provided development engineering and metal-working services for UNC Nuclear Industries, Inc., now WHC. The main objective of this work was to develop drawing process parameters for N Reactor`s full-sized tubing. The 306W Building 25-ton draw bench was used. The drawing test tubing was sized in proportion to full-sized pressure tube characteristics (strain ratio and cold work) but had dimensions scaled to PNL`s draw bench pull force capability. 6 ref., 28 figs., 20 tabs.
