Cundy Joint Research Centre, Patten, The Netherlands 925 RESULTS FROM POST-MORTEM TESTS WITH MATERIAL FROM THE OLD CORE-BOX OF THE HIGH FLUX REACTOR (HFR) AT PETTEN ABSTRACT Results are reported from hardness measurements, tensile tests and fracture mechanics experiments (fatigue crack growth and fracture toughness) on 5154 aluminium specimens, fabricated from remnants of the old HFR core box. The specimen material was exposed to a maximum thermal neutron fluence of 7.5 * 1026n/m2(E < 0.4eV). Test results for this fluence (ratio of the thermal to fast neutron flux density is 1.17) are: hardness 63HR15N, 0.2 - yield strength 525 MPa and total elongation 2.2% strain. Material which was exposed to a lower thermal fluence of 5.6 * 10 n/m , but with a thermal to fast neutron ratio of about 4, shows more radiation hardening : 67HR15N, 0.2 - yield strength 580 MPa and 1.5% total elongation. -5 -3 Fatigue crack growth rates range from 5 * 10 mm/cycle to 10 mm/cycle for AK ranging from 8 to 20 MPa)|m. The most highly exposed (7.5 * 10 n/m ) material shows accelerated fatigue crack growth due to unstable crack extension at AK of about 15 Mpa^m. The lowermost meaningful measure of plane strain fracture toughness is 18 MPa^m. Except for the fracture toughness which is a factor of about 3 higher the results show reasonable agreement with the expected mechanical properties estimated in the "safe end-of-life" assessment of the old HFR vessel.

  • Aluminium Alloys Chemical Composition Pdf
    Aluminium alloys chemical composition pdf Continue Alloy in which aluminum is the predominant lye frame of aluminum welded aluminium alloy, manufactured in 1990. Aluminum alloys (or aluminium alloys; see spelling differences) are alloys in which aluminium (Al) is the predominant metal. Typical alloy elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin and zinc. There are two main classifications, namely casting alloys and forged alloys, both further subdivided into heat-treatable and heat-free categories. Approximately 85% of aluminium is used for forged products, e.g. laminated plates, foils and extrusions. Aluminum cast alloys produce cost-effective products due to their low melting point, although they generally have lower tensile strength than forged alloys. The most important cast aluminium alloy system is Al–Si, where high silicon levels (4.0–13%) contributes to giving good casting features. Aluminum alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where a low weight or corrosion resistance is required. [1] Alloys composed mostly of aluminium have been very important in aerospace production since the introduction of metal leather aircraft. Aluminum-magnesium alloys are both lighter than other aluminium alloys and much less flammable than other alloys containing a very high percentage of magnesium. [2] Aluminum alloy surfaces will develop a white layer, protective of aluminum oxide, if not protected by proper anodization and/or dyeing procedures. In a wet environment, galvanic corrosion can occur when an aluminum alloy is placed in electrical contact with other metals with a more positive corrosion potential than aluminum, and an electrolyte is present that allows the exchange of ions.

  • Advantages of Aluminium
    Aluminium Information Advantages of Aluminium Advantages of Aluminium A unique combination of properties makes aluminium and its alloys one of the most versatile engineering and construction materials available today. Lightweight Aluminium is one of the lightest available commercial metals with a density approximately one third that of steel or copper. Its high strength to weight ratio makes it particularly important to transportation industries allowing increased payloads and fuel savings. Catamaran ferries, petroleum tankers and aircraft are good examples of aluminium’s use in transport. In other fabrications, aluminium’s lightweight can reduce the need for special handling or lifting equipment. Excellent Corrosion Resistance Aluminium has excellent resistance to corrosion due to the thin layer of aluminium oxide that forms on the surface of aluminium when it is exposed to air. In many applications, aluminium can be left in the mill finished condition. Should additional protection or decorative finishes be required, then aluminium can be either anodised or painted. Strong Although tensile strength of pure aluminium is not high, mechanical properties can be markedly increased by the addition of alloying elements and tempering. You can choose the alloy with the most suitable characteristics for your application. Typical alloying elements are manganese, silicon, copper and magnesium. Strong at Low Temperatures Where as steel becomes brittle at low temperatures, aluminium increases in tensile strength and retains excellent toughness. 1 © Capral Aluminium Limited Aluminium Information Advantages of Aluminium Easy to Work Aluminium can be easily fabricated into various forms such as foil, sheets, geometric shapes, rod, tube and wire. It also displays excellent machinability and plasticity ideal for bending, cutting, spinning, roll forming, hammering, forging and drawing.

Strength – some alloys can be substantially strengthened by work or by heat treatment. Workability – easy formability, machinability and readily welded. Corrosion resistance – varies depending on the alloy; the best resist marine exposure. Non-toxic – often used in contact with food. Non-magnetic and non-sparking. Electrical conductivity – very high; sometimes used for electrical conductors. Thermal conductivity – high. Reflectivity – bright finish options available. Specifications Flat rolled aluminium alloy products stocked by Atlas generally comply with ASTM B209M or ASTM B928M with dimensions in ANSI H35.2. There is very close agreement between these standards and Australian/New Zealand standard AS/NZS 1734 and again close agreement with European standard EN 573.
