被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.02(Metallurgy & Metallurgical Engineering)Zirconium (Zr)-based alloys are widely used as fuel cladding material for light water reactors. Under a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) condition, the oxidation of fuel cladding by high-temperature steam induces the degradation of mechanical properties of the cladding and would affect the integrity of fuel rods and/or assemblies, etc., during LOCA. In this study, the distribution of the elements (zirconium, oxygen, tin, iron and chromium) in Zircaloy-4 cladding specimens oxidized in the temperature range of 1350-
1700 K in steam was analyzed along the radial direction of the specimens by using SEM/EPMA, and the cause of element distribution in the specimens was discussed in consideration of the morphology of precipitates in the specimens and hypothesized phase diagrams related to the elements contained in the specimens. The form of the particles precipitated and the comparison between SEM/EPMA results and hypothesized phase diagrams of Zr-Sn-O system suggested that the liquefaction of tin-rich material and/or Zr-(Fe,Cr) compounds occurred during the oxidation test. The results obtained indicate that Zircaloy-4 cladding tubes would start melting at the melting point of tin-oxide and the eutectic point of Zr-(Fe,Cr)compounds, which is much lower than the melting point of Zr,
-Zr(O), or zirconium oxide (ZrO
).

1000Cでの使用を目指した高温ガス炉用Ni-Cr-W合金の開発研究では、溶接用溶加材の開発が残された重要な課題である。Ni-18.5Cr-21Wを基本組成とした合金について溶加材の開発を行い、以下の結果を得た。(1)Ni-Cr-W合金では微量元素の量や熱処理条件が溶接割れ感受性に大きな影響を及ぼし、母材と同じ組成の合金では安定して良好な溶接性が得られない。(2)脱酸効果や脱硫効果のある元素の量を増加させても、耐溶接割れの改善効果はあまり認められないが、Ti,Mgの適量添加により若干の改善効果が得られる。(3)Zr,Y,Bなどの元素が溶接割れ感受性を著しく高めていることがわかり、これらの元素の量を低く抑えることにより良好な溶接性を持った溶加材を開発することができる。
