In the framework of Accident tolerant fuel (ATF) program, several types of claddings and pellets with enhanced accident tolerance have been developed for light water reactors. Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) FeCrAl alloys have been considered as a promising candidate for cladding materials due to their good mechanical strength, excellent structural stability and chemical durability at high temperature. The out-of-pile performance of 14Cr ODS-FeCrAl cladding tube fabricated by cold-rolling, such as microstructure, thermophysical property, mechanical property, and corrosion resistance, has been examined and discussed. The results confirm that iron-based ODS alloy is one of the promising candidates to be used as ATF cladding. It could also aid in the supplement of property database of ODS-FeCrAl for future use in nuclear cladding and structural applications in next generation nuclear systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
