Effect of homogenization and hot rolling on the mechanical properties, microstructure and corrosion behavior of U-10Mo monolithic fuel

Journal Article Prabhakaran, Ramprashad ; Gardner, Levi ; Joshi, Vineet V. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Corrosion behavior is an important consideration in the fuel qualification process. No prior study comprehensively evaluated the corrosion behavior of uranium-10 weight percent (wt%) molybdenum alloy for use in U.S. High Performance Research Reactors with the current composition, thermomechanical processing methods, dimension, cladding material, interface, research water chemistry, temperature, and flow conditions. Hence, this work was performed to obtain baseline information about the corrosion behavior of DU-10Mo (depleted uranium-10wt% molybdenum) as a function of fabrication parameters (homogenization and hot rolling) using deionized water in a non-flow condition at 23°C and 75°C. Electrochemical and immersion corrosion testing were performed to determinemore »« less

Minimizing thickness variation in monolithic U-10Mo fuel foil and Zr interlayer during hot rolling: A microstructure-based finite element method analysis

Journal Article Li, Lei ; Fortier, Aaron ; Ramirez-Tamayo, Daniel ; ... - Materials Today Communications

Low-enriched uranium alloyed with 10 wt. % molybdenum (U-10Mo) has been identified as a promising alternative to highly enriched uranium fuel for the United States’ high performance research reactors. The monolithic U-10Mo fuel plate consists of a metallic U-10Mo fuel foil with a 25 µm Zr interlayer and a relatively thick cladding of aluminum alloy 6061. The Zr interlayer is typically applied during the hot co-rolling process, and this process dictates the uniformity of the Zr interlayer. Thickness variation observed in the U-10Mo and Zr interlayer has been attributed to several sources: the initial grain size of the U-10Mo castings,more »« less

The Effect of Rolling As-Cast and Homogenized U-10Mo Samples on the Microstructure Development and Recovery Curves

Technical Report Joshi, Vineet V. ; Paxton, Dean M. ; Lavender, Curt A. ; ...

Over the past several years Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has been actively involved in supporting the U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Office of Material Management and Minimization (formerly Global Threat Reduction Initiative). The U.S. High- Power Research Reactor (USHPRR) project is developing alternatives to existing highly enriched uranium alloy fuel to reduce the proliferation threat. One option for a high-density metal fuel is uranium alloyed with 10 wt% molybdenum (U-10Mo). Forming the U-10Mo fuel plates/foils via rolling is an effective technique and is actively being pursued as part of the baseline manufacturing process. The processing ofmore »« less

Influence of Homogenization on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of the U-10Mo Alloy

Technical Report Nyberg, Eric A. ; Joshi, Vineet V. ; Lavender, Curt A. ; ...

In Phase 1 of this study, the mechanical properties of as-cast, depleted uranium alloyed with 10 weight percent molybdenum alloy (U-10Mo) samples were evaluated by high-temperature compression testing. Compression testing was conducted at three strain rates over a temperature range of 400 to 800°C. The results indicated that with increasing test temperature, the material flow stress decreases and the material becomes more sensitive to strain rate. In addition, above the eutectoid transformation temperature (~ 550°C), the drop in material flow stress is prominent and shows a strain-softening behavior, especially at lower strain rates. In the second part of this research,more »« less
