Abstract

Hot-rolled uranium plate exhibited a pronounced directionality in mechanical properties which was reduced but not eliminated by beta transformation. Results of tensile, bend, impact and hardness tests made at room temperature are summarized for both hotrolled and beta-transfomned uranium plate. Significant differences in mechanical properties existed between ten lots of uranium plate processed under similar conditions. Composition and processing data were inadequate to assign causes for the variations. (auth)

Optimization of mechanical/corrosion properties of TI-CODE 12 plate and sheet: Part 2, Thermomechanical processing effects

Technical Report Schultz, R; Hall, J

In an effort to determine and subsequently optimize mechanical and corrosion properties of the TI-CODE 12 alloy for DHLW container application, a two-stage study was conducted. Stage I was directed toward evaluation of the effect of compositional variations, within ASTM specification limits, on specific mechanical and corrosion properties of TI-CODE 12. Compositional variables investigated were weight percent molybdenum, nickel, oxygen, and iron. Compositional ranges of TI-CODE 12 were identified which correspond to select combinations of desirable properties. Stage II program objectives include evaluation of five distinct thermomechanical processes with respect to TI-CODE 12 0.25 inch (6.35mm) plate and 0.070 inchmore »« less
EFFECT OF HOT PRESS CLADDING ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND MICROSTRUCTURE OF URANIUM PLATE

Technical Report McDonell, W

Hot-press cladding did not significantly change the mechanical properties or microstructure of beta-treated or as-rolled metal. The principal effect of cold rolling the beta-treated plate to a 5% reduction in cross- sectional area was an increase in yield strength (from 40,000 to 60,000 psi) with a corresponding decrease in ductility. Hot-press cladding largely annealed out these effects. The hot-press cladding induced partial recrystallization of the 5% cold-rolled metal. The recrystallization resulted in grains of reduced size in the case of the beta-treated, coldrolled metal, and of increased size in the case of the asrolled, cold-rolled metal.

PREFERRED ORIENTATION OF COLD-ROLLED AND RECRYSTALLIZED URANIUM PLATE

Technical Report McDonell, W

The preferred orientation induced in uranium plate by mild cold rolling after beta transformation was characterized by measurement of thermal expansion coefficients. From these data, it was estimated that cold reductions of five and ten% would cause elongations of one and two% per 1000 Mwd/T, respectively, during irradiation of the plate. Recrystallization following cold work did not significantly affect the preferred orientation, but relieved intergranular stresses in the metal. The cold work and recrystallization reduced the grain size of the metal. (auth)
PROPERTIES OF URANIUM DIOXIDE-STAINLESS STEEL DISPERSION FUEL PLATES

Technical Report Paprocki, S; Keller, D; Fackelmann, J

The physical and mechanical properties of GCRE-type fuel elements were determined from room temperature to 1650 deg F. The fuel elements were prepared by cladding Type 318 stainless steel sheet to a core containing 15 to 35 wt.% UO/ sub 2/ in either prealloyed Type 318 stainless steel or elemental iron-18 wt.% chromium-14 wt. % nickel-2.5 wt. % molybdenum. The tensile strength in the direction perpendicular to the rolling plane decreased from 24,600 psi at room temperature to 9,200 psi at 1650 deg F for the reference fuel plate, whose core contained 25 wt.% UO/sub 2/ in the elemental alloy.more »« less

FABRICATION OF IRON-ALUMINUM CHROMIUM ALLOY FUEL PLATES

Journal Article King, B; Neri, J; Tate, F - Am. Inst. Mining Met. Petrol. Engrs., Inst. Metals Div., Spec. Rept. Ser.

ABS>Briefly discussed are the characteristics (oxidation resistance, moderate cross section, and adaptability to reprocessing) that recommend Fe-Al alloys for use as cladding materials for gas-cooled core components, and the metallurgical peculiarities (brittleness, joining difficulties, and marginal hot strength) that have limited their use in the past. The properties of a newlydeveloped Fe-Al base alloy (71/2 wt.% Al, 5 wt.% Cr, 1 wt. % Cb, 1/2 wt.% Ti, remainder Fe) in which the deficiencies of older materials have been largely eliminated are summarized. Exploratory studies involving the fabrication by hot- roll bonding of dummy fuel elements are described; this work consistedmore »« less
