The effect of Al addition on the PRW weldability of ODS steel is shown with the discussion focusing on the microstructure changes by the welding. The ordinary welding methods including electron beam (EB) welding and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding were also applied to the SUS430 endcap welding to cladding tube made of FeCrAl-ODS steel. The endcap welded ODS steel tube samples were tensile tested at RT. The EB welded FeCrAl-ODS/SUS430 samples broke in the ODS steel tube, indicating that the weld bond is stronger than the ODS base metal. However, the TIG welded FeCrAl-ODS/SUS430 samples broke at a weld bond. X-ray CT scan analysis was performed for the weld bond, and the bonding strength was correlated with the X-ray CT results in order to assess the feasibility of those welding methods for ATF-ODS steel cladding.

Oxide dispersion strengthened steel with high Cr and Al concentration in chemical composition (FeCrAl-ODS steel) has been proposed as a promising candidate for the accident tolerant fuel cladding of light water reactors (LWRs) because of their excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance under high temperature water and steam environments. Neither there are no sufficient knowledge on welding technology of FeCrAl-ODS nor it is known that aluminum addition remarkably degrades the weldability of the ODS steel. In this study, electron beam (EB) welding and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding were applied to the SUS430 endcap welding to cladding tube made of FeCrAl-ODS steel and performed the bonding strength and corresponding damage structure evaluations at the bonding part.
