Renewed interest in the use of metallic fuel in a liquid-metal fast breeder reactor has prompted study of the thermodynamic and transport properties of fuel and cladding materials. Two stainless steels are of particular interest because of their good performance under irradiation. These are D9, an austenitic steel, and HT9, a ferritic steel. Thermal conductivity and thermal expansion data for these cladding alloys are of particular interest in assessing in-reactor behavior. These two properties were measured for the two steels at temperatures to 1200 K. Of particular interest is the influence on these properties of a phase transition in HT9.
