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

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

The effect of thermomechanical processing on second phase particle redistribution in U-10 wt%Mo

Journal Article Hu, Xiaohua ; Wang, Xiaowo ; Joshi, Vineet V. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

The multi-pass hot-rolling process of an annealed uranium-10 wt% molybdenum coupon was studied by plane-strain compression finite element modeling. Two point correlation function (2PCF) was used to analyze the carbide particle distribution after each rolling reduction. The hot rolling simulation results show that the alignment of UC particles along grain boundaries will rotate during rolling until it is parallel to the rolling direction, to form stringer-like distributions which are typically observed in rolled products that contain inclusions. 2PCF analysis of simulation shows that the interparticle spacing shrinks along the normal direction. The number of major peaks of 2PCF along NDmore »« less

Microstructural Analysis of As-Processed U-10 wt% Mo Monolithic Fuel Plate in AA6061 Matrix with Zr Diffusion Barrier

Journal Article Perez, E ; Yao, B ; Keiser, Jr, D D ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

For higher U-loading in low-enriched U-10wt.%Mo fuels, monolithic fuel plate clad in AA6061 is being developed as a part of Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactor (RERTR) program. This paper reports the first characterization results from a monolithic U- 10wt.%Mo fuel plate with a Zr diffusion barrier that was fabricated as part of a plate fabrication campaign for irradiation testing in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR). Both scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) were employed for analysis. At the interface between the Zr barrier and U-10wt.%Mo, going from Zr-to-U(Mo), UZr2, ?-UZr, Zr solidsolution and Mo2Zr phases weremore »« less
