| Abstract Scope |
As nuclear technology expands into the development of next-generation small and ultra-small nuclear reactors, the need for various types of material components required in extreme nuclear environments is increasing. There are a variety of methods for manufacturing parts for extreme environments, but additive manufacturing technology is suitable for combining composite materials while processing ultra-high temperature materials into parts. In this study, we developed technology to improve the performance of extreme nuclear components by introducing additive manufacturing technology for combining composite materials. Specifically, we evaluated the microstructure and performance by combining stainless steel (SS) and W to improve high-temperature strength, cladding SS and Ni-based materials to improve corrosion resistance, and cladding B4C material to SS material for radiation shielding. |
