Title: Characterization of 14YWT & ODS Base Metals

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1507315· OSTI ID:1507315

Nanostructured ferritic alloys (NFA) with oxide dispersion strengthening are being developed for next generation reactor applications. Applications such as transmutation of long lived isotopes in used fuels require cladding materials that can withstand high irradiation doses, potentially in the hundreds of displacements per atom (dpa). Currently, however, there are no joining processes that retain the strength and fine distribution of oxide precipitates characteristic of ODS alloys. As part of a larger effort to adapt a solid state capacitive discharge welding technique for use with ODS cladding, presented will be characterization of the initial materials including 14YWT and MA956 ODS alloys.
