3Y-TZP Toughened and Oxidation-resistant U₃Si₂ Composites for Accident Tolerant Fuels

Journal Article Mohamad, Afiqa ; Gong, Bowen ; Yao, Tiankai ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

In this work, we report an innovative approach synergizing multiple effects of microstructure control, oxide protection and phase transformation-induced mechanically toughening to develop advanced U₃Si₂ fuels with state-of-the-art materials properties. 3Y-TZP (3 mol% yttria doped stabilized tetragonal zirconia) additives are incorporated and uniformly distributed into the SPS-densified U₃Si₂ fuel matrix, enhancing materials fracture toughness up to 4.04 MPa m^1/2. The 3Y-TZP incorporated U₃Si₂ composite pellets show significantly improved onset temperature of oxidation above 560 °C, which can be further improved to 617 °C with 3 vol% addition by post-sintering thermal annealing. We report the development of mechanically tough and oxidation-resistantmore »« less

Separation of Nuclear Fuel Surrogates from Silicon Carbide Inert Matrix

Technical Report Baney, Ronald

The objective of this project has been to identify a process for separating transuranic species from silicon carbide (SiC). Silicon carbide has become one of the prime candidates for the matrix in inert matrix fuels, (IMF) being designed to reduce plutonium inventories and the long half-lives actinides through transmutation since complete reaction is not practical it become necessary to separate the non-transmuted materials from the silicon carbide matrix for ultimate reprocessing. This work reports a method for that required process.l

Viscous sintering and mechanical properties of 3Y-TZP-reinforced LAS glass-ceramic composites

Journal Article Choi, S Y ; Ahn, J M - Journal of the American Ceramic Society

The densification of lithium aluminosilicate glass-ceramic composites strongly depended on dispersed 3-mol%-Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}- tetragonal-ZrO{sub 2}-polycrystal (3Y-TZP) content, rather than the crystallization of a parent glass phase. Because of the reaction between 3Y-TZP and the glass phase, tetragonal-ZrO{sub 2} transformed to monoclinic-ZrO{sub 2} with twinned structure because of the dissolution of Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}, and ZrSiO{sub 4} formed. Composites containing > 50 wt% 3Y-TZP were characterized by fully densified microstructures and decreased tetragonal-to-monoclinic transformation. Fracture toughness increased by almost a factor of 3, which was attributed mainly to stress-induced phase transformation of tetragonal-ZrO{sub 2} particles.

Influence of amorphous grain boundary phases on the superplastic behavior of 3-mol%-yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (3Y-TZP)

Journal Article Gust, M ; Goo, G ; Wolfenstine, J ; ... - Journal of the American Ceramic Society; (United States)

Amorphous silicate grain boundary phases of varying chemistry and amounts were added to 3Y-TZP in order to determine their influence on the superplastic behavior between 1,200 and 1,300C and on the room-temperature mechanical properties. Strain rate enhancement at high temperatures was observed in 3Y-TZP containing a glassy grain boundary phase, even with as little as 0.1 wt% glass. Strain rate enhancement was greatest in 3Y-TZP with 5 wt% glass, but the room-temperature hardness, elastic modulus, and fracture toughness were degraded. The addition of glassy grain boundary phases did not significantly affect the stress exponent of 3Y-TZP, but did lower themore »« less
