    Notes: Hydrogen redistribution caused by thermotransport in the Zr-1.0Nb-1.0Sn-0.1Fe alloy underthe temperature gradient which is likely to be encountered between nuclear fuel cladding and primarycooling water (300-340[removed info]) was investigated. The heat of transport (Q*) of hydrogen was determinedby using a steady state technique to evaluate the magnitude and direction of thermotransport ofhydrogen in the alloy. The values of Q∗ were 23.1, 23.7 and 27.1 KJ/mol for the hydrogenconcentration of 73.4, 75.8 and 94.3 ppm by weight respectively. In other words, hydrogen wastransported from hot region to cold region and the value of Q∗ increased with increasing overallhydrogen concentration. The Zr-1.0Nb-1.0Sn-0.1Fe alloy had the smaller Q∗ value than that ofZircaloy-4 when compared with same overall hydrogen concentration. Thus, Zr-1.0Nb-1.0Sn-0.1Fealloy has better resistance to the formation of hydride due to thermotransport than Zircaloy-4 does

    Notes: The cavitation erosion behavior of Fe-Cr-C-Si-xNi (x = 1, 2 and 3 wt.%) alloys were investigated for 50 hours using a 20 kHz vibratory cavitation erosion test equipment. 1 wt.% Ni added Fe-based hardfacing alloy showed excellent cavitation erosion resistance, comparable to the stellite 6. Above 1 wt.% Ni, however, the erosion resistance deteriorated quickly. It is conjectured that Ni addition above 1 wt.%, which has been shown to increase the stacking fault energy (SFE),resulted in reduction of the work hardening rate during the erosion test. Therefore, the enhanced cavitation erosion resistance of the 1 wt.% Ni alloy over the 2 and 3 wt.% Ni alloys could be explained in terms of the SFE, Ms temperature and work hardening

    Notes: The sliding wear behavior of a steam generator in a nuclear power plant (Inconel 600) was investigated at 225, 250 and 300℃. Effects of wear parameters such as sliding distance and contact stress were examined with SUS 304 (austenitic). In the prediction of the wear volume by Archard wear equation, the standard error range was calculated to be ±0.53×10-9 m3 and the reliability to be 71.9 % for the combination of Inconel 600 and SUS 304. The error range was considered to be relatively broad because the wear coefficient in Archard equation was assumed tobe constant. However, the wear volume turned out to increase parabolically with the sliding distance owing to the combination of strain hardening of the wear surface and the oxidative wear. Based on the experimental results, the wear coefficient was modified as a function of the rotating sliding distance. The calculation with the modified wear equation showed that, although the error range was not significantly narrowed, the reliability increased from 71.9 to 78.1 %

    Notes: A new iron-based wear resistance alloy was developed to replace the Co-containingStellite 6 alloys in nuclear power industry. The effect of B addition on the wear resistance was investigated. Sliding wear tests of Fe-Cr-C-Si-xB (x = 0.0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.0 and 2.0 wt%) alloys were performed in air at the room temperature under a contact stress of 103 MPa. Low-boron alloys containing less than 0.6 wt% boron showed an excellent wear resistance than any other tested alloys. The improvement was associated with the matrix hardening by promotion of the γ→α′straininducedmartensitic transformation occurring during the wear test. However, the alloys containing more than 1.0 wt% boron showed slightly increased wear loss compared to the low-boron alloys because of the absence of the strain-induced martensitic transformation and the presence of the brittle FeB particles, aiding crack initiation

    Notes: Wear damage of steam generator tubes of nuclear power plants can cause leakage of radioactive substances. So the evaluation of tubes’ integrity is very important from the viewpoint of nuclear ecocide. In the present study, sliding wear behaviors of Inconel 600 and 690 steam generator tube materials mated with 409 stainless steel commonly used as the support plate were investigated at room temperature in an air environment. For more precise prediction of wear behaviors of steam generator tubes, Archard equation was modified, and the modified wearcoefficients were estimated as a function of sliding distance. When using the modified Archard equation, the reliabilities for prediction of wear behavior of Inconel 600 and 690 mated with 409 stainless steel increased from 71.8% to 83.8% and from 60.2% to 85.2%, respectively

    Notes: Al alloys containing boron or its compound are attractive for neutron shielding materials since boron exhibits high thermal neutron absorbing capability. However, poor fracture toughness and low ductility of boron compounds restrict their usage as structural materials. By adding Ti as a third element, it is expected to improve the toughness of Al-B alloys. The present study investigates the effect of the Ti addition on fracture toughness of the (Al+Xat%Ti)2at%B (X = 0.5, 1, 1.5 at%) alloyfabricated by high energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The SPS method was used to consolidate (Al+Xat%Ti)2at%B (X = 0.5, 1, 1.5 at%) alloy with the pressure of 50 MPa. Charpy impact tests showed that the fracture toughness of the 1 at%Ti added-alloy was 4 MPam1/2 , and that it was three times higher than that of Al-B alloys. Further reduction of the Ti addition down to 0.5at% at 1.9 MPam1/2 or up to 1.5 at% at 2 MPam1/2 slightly decreased the fracture toughness. The microstructures of the present specimens were investigated by FE-SEM and TEM to describe the relationship with fracture toughness
