| Abstract Scope |
Cold spray materials deposition technology is being actively investigated in the nuclear energy sector on account of its ability to deposit metallic coatings at high deposition rates and with low thermal input to the substrate. The scientific underpinnings of three capabilities of cold spray, namely, coating deposition, near-net shape manufacturing, and repair will be discussed in the context of nuclear energy applications. Cold spray Cr coatings have been shown to enhance oxidation resistance of Zr-alloy cladding, the tubes that hold the uranium-dioxide fuel pellets in LWR. Second, free-standing oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel cladding tubes have been manufactured using cold spray. ODS steels have superior elevated temperature strength and radiation damage resistance compared to conventional ferritic/martensitic steels. Finally, the application of cold spray is the leading technology for repair and mitigation of stress corrosion cracking in used fuel storage stainless steel containments. |
