Rapidly solidified U–6wt%Nb powders for dispersion-type nuclear fuels
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The microstructures of U–6 wt%Nb powder particles were investigated to assess their use as a distributed fuel phase in dispersion-type nuclear fuels. The powder was produced by centrifugal atomization, leading to rapid solidification of the molten alloy particles. The microstructure of the solidified particles consisted of a dendritic structure comprising metastable α-phase-related dendrites and interdendritic metastable γ 0 phase formation. The relationship between the observed microstructure and processing conditions are discussed.
