A Study on Delta Ferrite in Thin Walled Stainless Steel Tube Welding for Nuclear Reactor Fuel Elements
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Thin walled stainless steel tubes have been accepted as reference cladding for all fast nuclear reactor fuel elemens around the world. The Indian Nuclear Programme has also chosen stainless steel (AISI 316) tubes as cladding material for the Fast Breeder Test Reactor to be commissioned in Kalpakkam, Madras. During fabrication of the fuel elements, these thin walled tubes are arc welded to solid end plugs of stainless steel (AISI 316) inside a glove box by an automatic remote TIG welding technique.
