An industrial microwave oven was characterized and adapted to process cermet materials. Physical and mechanical property determinations were made as a function of microwave processing time and compared to a furnace sintered sample. Electron microscopy was conducted on the composite materials in evaluat- ing the extent of bonding between metal and oxide particles and particle sizing in the cermet.

REPOSITORY CRITICALITY CONTROL WITH DEPLETED URANIUM DIOXIDE CERMET WASTE PACKAGES It is proposed that the structural components and internal basket structures of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) waste packages (WPs), which will be sequestered with the SNF at the repository, be constructed of depleted uranium dioxide (DUO2 )–steel cermets. The cermet used for the WP basket would also contain neutron absorbers with high-absorption-cross-sections such as boron or rare earth oxides. This strategy would provide both operational and long-term (repository post-closure) criticality control. As the WP degrades, the 238U in the depleted uranium (DU) would mix with the degrading SNF and isotopically dilute 233U and 235U to levels (<1 wt % 235U in 238U; <0.66 wt % 233U in 238 U) that ensure critically will not occur.

The present decade has witnessed a huge volume of research revolving around a number of Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques, especially for the fabrication of different metallic materials. How- ever, fabrication of ceramics and cermets using AM-based techniques mainly suffers from two primary limi- tations which are: (i) low density and (ii) poor mechanical properties of the final components. Although there has been a considerable volume of work on AM based techniques for manufacturing ceramic and cermet parts with enhanced densities and improved mechanical properties, however, there is limited understanding on the cor- relation of microstructure of AM-based ceramic and cermet components with the mechanical properties. The present article is aimed to review some of the most commonly used AM techniques for the fabrication of ceramics and cermets. This has been followed by a brief discussion on the microstructural developments during different AM-based techniques. In addition, an overview of the challenges and future perspectives, mainly associated with the necessity towards developing a systematic structure-property correlation in these materials has been provided based on three factors viz.

Received: 7 June 2020; Accepted: 8 July 2020; Published: 10 July 2020 Abstract: Ti(C,N)-based cermets with multicomponent ingredients were prepared using vacuum sintering technology. The effect of molding agents, binder phase and sintering temperature on Ti(C,N)-based cermets were studied. The optimum molding performance was obtained by adding 2% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-1788). The microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti(C,N)-based cermets were investigated. The Ti(C,N)-based cermet with a weight percentage of TiC:TiN:Ni:Co:Mo:WC:Cr3C2:C = 40:10:20:10:7:8:4:1 and sintered at 1450 ◦C had the optimal mechanical properties. The relative bending strength, Vickers hardness, elastic modulus and wear resistance were 2010 MPa, 15.01 GPa, 483.57 GPa and 27 mg, respectively. Additionally, X-ray diffraction (XRD), backscatter scanning electron microscopy pictures (SEM–BSE), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and optical micrographs of Ti(C,N)-based cermets were characterized.

GUIGON Centre d etudes nucleaires de Cadarache, XA9953271 Saint-Paul-lez-Durance Ph. DEHAUDT, A. MOCELLIN Centre d'etudes nucleaires de Grenoble, Grenoble C. AILLAUD Centre d'etudes nucleaires de Cadarache, Saint-Paul-lez-Durance France Abstract In order to address the new issues linked to the checking of the nuclear programme and the abandonment of the fast reactor system in France, the Nuclear Reactor Division (DRN) of the CEA launched a study programme with the aim of increasing the plutonium load in pressurized water reactors. INTRODUCTION The nuclear industry landscape has considerably changed since the 1960s: the development of the fast breeder reactor system was first curtailed, then progressively left in abeyance, which resulted in the accumulation of large amounts of plutonium. A temporary solution for these stocks of plutonium consisted in using them in pressurized water reactors (PWRs). However, for safety reasons, essentially related to the great sensitivity of the cores of these reactors - due to a very negative moderating coefficient that makes cold hazards particularly difficult to control -, the safety authorities decided to limit core loading of Pu in its conventional, MOX (Mixed Oxide) form to only 30 %. On the other hand, for reasons linked to proliferation resistance and economics, increased burnup of these fuels is highly desirable. Although 20 reactors of the French nuclear power plants are authorized to operate with a load of 30 % MOX, only 17 currently use this fuel, while eight units are soon to receive authorization to operate using this fuel.

  • Fabrication of Tic-20Mass%Ni Cermet Using MA-PCS Process
    Materials Transactions, Vol. 47, No. 10 (2006) pp. 2561 to 2565 #2006 The Japan Institute of Metals Fabrication of TiC-20 mass%Ni Cermet Using MA-PCS Process Keizo Kobayashi and Kimihiro Ozaki Materials Research Institute for Sustainable Development, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Nagoya 463-8560, Japan Mechanical alloying and pulsed-current sintering were used to synthesize TiC-20 mass%Ni cermet with ultra-fine TiC particles dispersed. The mixture, in which Ti and Ni elements were uniformly distributed, was prepared by mechanical alloying of Ti, Ni and graphite powders for 18 ks. TiC particles were produced in the mixture milled for longer than 18 ks through a combustion synthesis reaction during heating. Mechanically alloyed Ti-C-Ni composite powder milled for 18 ks was consolidated using pulsed-current sintering at 1223 K under 70 MPa pressure. The sintered compact consisted of TiC and Ni. The average grain size of TiC particles in the sintered body was 0.80 mm. The relative density of the sintered compact reached 92% of the theoretical one; its Vickers hardness was 2260 Hv.

As an example, TiC-high 26 September 2018 manganese steel cermet with a gradient distribution of TiC was successfully designed and fabricated by 3DGP. The rheological behavior and polymerization Ó Springer Science+Business of slurries with different TiC content have been researched. The complex- Media, LLC, part of Springer shaped green bodies were printed accurately by depositing slurries layer by Nature 2018 layer. The scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction revealed the gradient distribution and morphology of the TiC particles within a sintered sample. The density, hardness, abrasion wear resistance, transverse rupture strength and impact toughness of the 3D gel-printed TiC-high manganese steel cermet appeared graded distribution corresponding to its gradient structure. Gradient distribution of the composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of the 3D gel-printed part are consistent with the design concept. Results indicated that 3DGP is a promising approach for high-throughput design and fabrication of complex-shaped graded composites. Introduction requirements within a component.

Conventional ceramic, cermet or metal powder processing typically comprises ball milling a slurry, which contains a ceramic, cermet or metal powder material and a solvent, to reduce the particle size of the material. The milled slurry is dried, such as by spray drying or pan drying, and the dried composition is then formed into articles.
