RISCorrosion Behaviour of Bare and NiCrAlY Coated Alloy 214 in Supercritical Water at 700 °C
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Concerns with greenhouse gas emissions and the uncertainty of long-term supply of fossil fuels have resulted in renewed interest in nuclear energy as an essential part of the energy mix for the future. Many countries ...
Miniature Autoclave and Double Bellows Loading Device for Material Testing in Future Reactor Concept Conditions—Case Supercritical Water
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The presented work consists of a test setup study of a new pneumatic material testing device based on double bellows (DBs) loading device and with miniature autoclaves enabling applications at temperature and pressure up ...
Performance of Aluminide and Cr-Modified Aluminide Pack Cementation-Coated Stainless Steel 304 in Supercritical Water at 700 °C
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The choice of materials is of great concern in the construction of Gen IV supercritical water reactors (SCWR), particularly the fuel cladding, due to the harsh environment of elevated temperatures and pressures. A material's ...
Simulated Environmental Tests for Selected Advanced Technology Fuel Cladding Solutions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current development on advanced technology fuel (ATF) claddings is aiming at improved high temperature integrity of new candidate materials designed on existing zirconium cladding materials. To assess their performance in ...
Oxidation Behavior of Alumina-Forming Austenitic Steels in Superheated Steam at 700 °C
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, three alumina-forming austenitic (AFA) steels (Fe-18Ni-12Cr-AlNbC, Fe-18Ni-12Cr-Al, and Fe-18Ni-16Cr-AlNbC) were exposed to superheated steam (SHS) at 700 °C for 1000 h to study their oxidation behavior. The ...
