Evaluation of Constitutive Relationship for Silicon Carbide Cladding Material

A curved representative volume element (RVE) was employed to analyze SiC/SiC tubular composites. By imposing periodicity on the tubular model through appropriate boundary conditions, the elastic constants of the composite was evaluated. It was found that as the radius of the tubular composite increases, the more the flat RVE model and curved RVE model disagreed.

Transient Coupled Chemical-Thermal-Fluid Field Simulation for Sealed Aluminum-clad Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Canister

As the first step toward developing three-dimensional (3D) multi-physics computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for unsealed and vented canister storage system, a 3D CFD model coupled with bulk gas radiolysis reactions was developed first for sealed DOE standard canisters filled with inert gas and trace amount of air and water. The workflow for constructing canister-scale 3D CFD models and coupling with gas phase radiolysis reactions were established, which can be readily extended to unsealed, vented canister storage system. This interim milestone report documents the theory of the model, workflow to establish radiolysis reaction network, and initial simulations of the evolutions of thermal fields and hydrogen gas concentrations within sealed DOE standard canisters over long period of time. In addition, a mesh refinement test was done to show that increasing the models mesh refinement had negligible impact upon the temperature profiles.

Multi material/functionally graded wire arc additive manufacturing of high strength steel valves clad with nickel alloy 625 used for oil extraction

This Phase 1 technical collaboration project (ORNL/TM-2022/2683) began on August 1st, 2020 and concluded on July 31st, 2022. The collaboration partner Schlumberger is a large business enterprise assisting oil companies to extract oil from land and subsea cost competitively and safely. It is based in Houston, Texas USA. In this work as study of additive deposition of AWS EF100S-G and AWS ERNiCrMo-3 wires via wire-arc process was conducted.

Feasibility Evaluation of a Solid Phase Scalable HEA Cladding Manufacturing Route

First of a kind development result on two low-energy solid-phase processes applied on an irradiation-resistant alloy, NiCoFeCrCu 0.12 , are achieved and demonstrate moderate feasibility of successful tube fabrication using shear assisted processing and extrusion (ShAPE™) and friction stir layer deposition as a bulk manufacturing process. The scope of the work is performed in four phases: 1) direct tube manufacturing of the irradiation-resistant high-entropy alloy (HEA) composite with increased strength, 2) co-shear lining manufacturing process for the increased strength and corrosion-resistant, irradiation-tolerant HEAs, 3) ShAPE of the radially gradient corrosion resistance alloy, and 4) alloy development and fabrication enabled through friction stir additive manufacturing processes among others. This report describes the development activities from April to December 2023 to manufacture a direct customizable thin-walled tubular product from irradiation-tolerant composite high-entropy alloys (C-HEAs) while the overall project is continuing in 2024.
