Description/Abstract:
INERT-TUNGSTEN-ARC WELDING ZR AND ZIRCALOY 2 JACKETED SLUGS TO AFFECT THE FINAL CLOSURE WAS EXPERIMENTALLY EVALUATED ON BONDED AND UNBONDED SLUGS. RESULTS OF CHEMICAL ANAYSES AND METALLURGICAL EXAMN OF FUSION WELDS IN ZR AND ZIRCALOY 2 ARE GIVEN. THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT INERT-TUNGSTEN-ARC FUSION WELDING IS FEASIBLE ON A PRODUCTION SCALE
