The Role of Residual Elastic Stress in Shrinkage of Cold-Pressed and Sintered Fuel Tablets
Abstract:
Manufacture of fuel tablets from UO2 powder includes many processes, among which shrinkage without application of external loading till now requires explanations. Particles of UO2 are brittle up to ~ 700°C. By cold pressing due to the porous structure of powder billets separate particles are pressing one into another with accompanying rise of residual elastic stress. Under following heating and sintering plasticization of UO2 occurs, its yield stress decreases and conditions for creep and resulting shrinkage of tablets takes place.
