Evaluation of Fracture Stress for the SiC Layer of TRISO-Coated Fuel Particles by A Modified Crush Testing

Journal Article Byun, Thak Sang ; Kim, Jin Weon ; Miller, James Henry ; ... - International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology

Fracture stress data for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) SiC coatings of tri-isotropic (TRISO) carbon/silicon carbide coated fuel particles were obtained using a newly developed testing and evaluation method, and their relationship with microstructure investigated. A crush testing technique using a blanket foil at load-transferring contact has been developed for hemispherical shell SiC specimens based on finite element (FE) analysis results. Mean fracture stress varied with test material in the range of 330 650 MPa, and was connected to the combined characteristics of inner surface roughness and porosity.
Evaluation of the Fracture Strength for SiC Layers in the TRISO-coated Fuel Particle

Journal Article Hong, Seong Gu ; Byun, Thak Sang ; Lowden, Richard Andrew ; ... - Journal of the American Ceramic Society

A program to develop new methods to measure the fracture strength of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) SiC coatings in nuclear fuel particles has been carried out. Internal pressurization and crush test techniques were developed and applied to prototype-sized tubular and hemispherical shell specimens. The fracture strength measured from each test method applying the Weibull two-parameter distribution, and Weibull parameters measured. It was shown that data generated with each test technique were independent of the test technique applied. This implies the developed test methods are reliable and provide reasonable strength data. For the same material, fracture strength varied with themore »« less

Fracture Stress Data for SiC Layers in the TRISO-Coated Fuel Particles

Technical Report Byun, Thak Sang ; Kim, Jin Weon ; Dunbar, Ivan ; ...

A crush testing method for hemispherical shell specimens was developed based on the result of finite element (FE) analysis on stress distribution, and was applied to the evaluation of fracture strength for the chemical vapor deposited (CVD) SiC layers of tri-isotropic (TRISO) fuel particles. This report presents descriptions on the testing and evaluation procedures, SiC fracture data, and Weibull statistics parameters. In the mechanical testing, hemispherical shell specimens of SiC layers removed from TRISO particles were diametrically loaded between a bottom base and a plunger with brass foil at its end. The fracture in the shells always initiates at themore »« less

On Techniques to Characterize and Correlate Grain Size, Grain Boundary Orientation and the Strength of the SiC Layer of TRISO Coated Particles: A Preliminary Study

Conference van Rooyen, I J ; Dunzik Gougar, J L ; Trowbridge, T ; ...

The mechanical properties of the silicon carbide (SiC) layer of the TRi-ISOtropic (TRISO) coated particle (CP) for high temperature gas reactors (HTGR) are performance parameters that have not yet been standardized by the international HTR community. Presented in this paper are the results of characterizing coated particles to reveal the effect of annealing temperature (1000 to 2100°C) on the strength and grain size of unirradiated coated particles. This work was further expanded to include possible relationships between the grain size and strength values. The comparative results of two strength measurement techniques and grain size measured by the Lineal intercept methodmore »« less

Mechanical Characteristics of SiC Coating Layer in TRISO Fuel Particles

Journal Article Hosemann, P. ; Martos, J. N. ; Frazer, D. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Tristructural isotropic (TRISO) particles are considered as advanced fuel forms for a variety of fission platforms. While these fuel structures have been tested and deployed in reactors, the mechanical properties of these structures as a function of production parameters need to be investigated in order to ensure their reliability during service. Nanoindentation techniques, indentation crack testing, and half sphere crush testing were utilized in order to evaluate the integrity of the SiC coating layer that is meant to prevent fission product release in the coated particle fuel form. The results are complimented by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the grainmore »« less
