Modeling the Homogenization Kinetics of As-Cast U-10wt% Mo alloys

Journal Article Xu, Zhijie ; Joshi, Vineet ; Hu, Shenyang Y. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Low-enriched U-22at% Mo (U-10Mo) alloy has been considered as an alternative material to replace the highly enriched fuels in research reactors. For the U-10Mo to work effectively and replace the existing fuel material, a thorough understanding of the microstructure development from as-cast to the final formed structure is required. The as-cast microstructure typically resembles an inhomogeneous microstructure with regions containing molybdenum-rich and -lean regions, which may affect the processing and possibly the in-reactor performance. This as-cast structure must be homogenized by thermal treatment to produce a uniform Mo distribution. The development of a modeling capability will improve the understanding ofmore »« less

Process Modeling of U-10wt% Mo Alloys Using Integrated Computational Materials Engineering

Technical Report Wang, Chao ; Soulami, Ayoub ; Xu, Zhijie ; ...

Low-enriched uranium alloyed with 10 wt% molybdenum (U-10Mo) has been identified as a promising alternative to highly enriched uranium as fuel for the nation’s high-performance research reactors. Manufacturing the U-10Mo alloy consists of multiple complex thermomechanical processes, which is highly challenging for computational modeling. The integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) concept supports building a microstructure-based framework to investigate the effect of manufacturing processes on the material microstructure. In this report, an ICME model that combines homogenization, hot rolling, annealing, and cold rolling is presented as an example of implementing the ICME concept for modeling the manufacturing processes of the U-10Momore »« less

Thermomechanical process optimization of U-10wt% Mo – Part 2: The effect of homogenization on the mechanical properties and microstructure

Journal Article Joshi, Vineet V. ; Nyberg, Eric A. ; Lavender, Curt A. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Low-enriched uranium alloyed with 10 wt% molybdenum (U-10Mo) is currently being investigated as an alternative fuel for the highly enriched uranium used in several of the United States’ high performance research reactors. Development of the methods to fabricate the U-10Mo fuel plates is currently underway and requires fundamental understanding of the mechanical properties at the expected processing temperatures. In the first part of this series, it was determined that the as-cast U-10Mo had a dendritic microstructure with chemical inhomogeneity and underwent eutectoid transformation during hot compression testing. In the present (second) part of the work, the as-cast samples were heatmore »« less

Thermomechanical Process Optimization of U-10wt% Mo – Part 1: High-Temperature Compressive Properties and Microstructure

Journal Article Joshi, Vineet V. ; Nyberg, Eric A. ; Lavender, Curt A. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Nuclear power research facilities require alternatives to existing highly enriched uranium alloy fuel. One option for a high density metal fuel is uranium alloyed with 10wt% molybdenum (U-10Mo). Fuel fabrication process development requires specific mechanical property data that, to-date, has been unavailable. In this work, as-cast samples were compression tested at three strain rates over a temperature range of 400 to 800° C to provide data for hot rolling and extrusion modeling. The results indicate that with increasing test temperature the U-10Mo flow stress decreases and becomes more sensitive to strain rate. In addition, above the eutectoid transformation temperature, themore »« less
