Effects of preheat time in compound layer formation
Description:
Hanford fuel elements are made by brazing uranium cores in aluminum cans. The interface, or junction, between the AlSi braze and uranium core known as the compound layer, is composed of an intermetallic complex. The properties of this compound layer, brittleness, ductility, toughness, are considered to have a pronounced influence on the performance of fuel elements in the reactors. This report presents the results of initial efforts to identify the compound layers and establish some of the proc…
