Finite-element model to predict roll-separation force and defects during rolling of U-10Mo alloys

Journal Article Soulami, Ayoub ; Burkes, Douglas E. ; Joshi, Vineet V. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

This study used a finite element code, LSDYNA, as a predictive tool to optimize the rolling process. Simulations of the hot rolling of U-10Mo coupons encapsulated in low-carbon steel were conducted following two different schedules. Model predictions of the roll-separation force and roll pack thicknesses at different stages of the rolling process were compared with experimental measurements. The study reported here discussed various attributes of the rolled coupons revealed by the model (e.g., waviness and thickness non-uniformity like dog boning). To investigate the influence of the cladding material on these rolling defects, other cases were simulated: hot rolling with alternative can materials, namely, 304 stainless steel and Zircaloy-2, and bare-rolling.

Rolling Process Modeling Report: Finite-Element Prediction of Roll Separating Force and Rolling Defects

Technical Report Soulami, Ayoub ; Lavender, Curt A. ; Paxton, Dean M. ; ...

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has been investigating manufacturing processes for the uranium-10% molybdenum (U-10Mo) alloy plate-type fuel for the U.S. high-performance research reactors. This work supports the Convert Program of the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) Global Threat Reduction Initiative. This report documents modeling results of PNNL’s efforts to perform finite-element simulations to predict roll separating forces and rolling defects. Simulations were performed using a finite-element model developed using the commercial code LS-Dyna. Simulations of the hot rolling of U-10Mo coupons encapsulated in low-carbon steel have been conducted following two different schedules. Model predictions ofmore »« less

Carbide Particle Redistribution in U-10Mo Alloy during Hot and Cold Rolling Processes

Technical Report Choi, Kyoo Sil ; Wang, Chao ; Frazier, William E. ; ...

The influence of initial carbide particle distribution features on particle fracture and the evolution of stringer distribution within an alloy of uranium with 10 weight percent molybdenum during cold rolling was investigated in this study. This work will provide guidance to casting optimization work and identify actionable process changes to eliminate the surface features directly attributed to carbides. In a previous study, various synthetic microstructure-based finite-element (FE) models were generated with consideration of different parameters (i.e., particle shape, particle volume fraction, and particle distribution), and used to examine the effects of hot rolling on the microstructure evolution. In this study,more »« less

The Microstructure of Rolled Plates from Cast Billets of U-10Mo Alloys

Technical Report Nyberg, Eric A. ; Joshi, Vineet V. ; Burkes, Douglas ; ...

This report covers the examination of 13 samples of rolled plates from three separate castings of uranium, alloyed with 10 wt% molybdenum (U-10Mo) which were sent from the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y12) to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

The role of ternary alloying elements in eutectoid transformation of U-10Mo alloy part II. In and Ex-situ Neutron diffraction-based assessment of eutectoid phase transformation kinetics in U-9.8Mo-0.2X alloy (X = Cr, Ni or Co)

Journal Article Peterson, Nathan ; Malta, D. P. ; Vogel, Sven C. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

HExploring the effects of minor ternary alloying additions, typically impurity elements, on the phase stability of U-10Mo is important for preventing undesirable phase decomposition during processing or during service. This work examines the influence small ternary additions of Cr, Ni, and Co. Both in-situ and ex-situ neutron diffraction measurements made during and after high temperature (450 – 525°C) exposures were used to better define the influence of these elements on the time-temperature-transformation (TTT) behavior of U-10Mo, providing information which is complementary to electron microscopy investigations of the same alloy systems performed in the first part of this work.
