| Abstract Scope |
Advanced methods for manufacturing is expected to play a significant role in fabricating components for future and current energy producing plants. Various processing methodologies such as additive manufacturing and solid phase processing (SPP) are under development as a part of the advanced manufacturing techniques. In this investigation, friction consolidation of was performed at various processing temperature to investigate the processing-structure correlation at various phase fields. As a result, both size and the type of grain structure (equiaxed and Widmanstatten) were different and dependent on processing temperature. Furthermore, shear assisted processing and extrusion was employed to fabricating Zircaloy-4 tubes in a single step from a solid feedstock. The fabricated tube exhibited fine and coarse grain structures at the start and at the end of the tube, respectively. Random texture was noted based on Kearn’s analysis. Additionally, the evolution of second phase particles after SPP was discussed. |
