The Development of Alumina Forming Austenitic Alloy for Core Application in Advanced Nuclear Reactors

Article Preview

Abstract:

The development of materials for core components which can serve in high temperature corrosive environments for a long service time is crucial to realize high efficiency and high-burnup operation of advanced nuclear reactors. Alumina forming austenitic (AFA) alloy is a kind of promising materials with improved corrosion resistance as well as strength at elevated temperature. The progress on the composition design and characterization of AFA alloys are reviewed in this work for evaluation their potential applications in advanced nuclear reactors. AFA alloys without the addition of carbon have been fabricated. Microstructures were observed by SEM and TEM. Mechanical properties were measured at room temperature and high temperature.
