Abstract

1,033,246. Welding by fusion. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. March 5, 1965 [March 19, 1964], No. 11783/64. Heading B3R. An edge weld is formed between an end cap 3 (Fig. 1, not shown) and the sheath 2 of a nuclear reactor fuel element, by preparing the adjoining surfaces of the cap 3 and sheath 2 to form a Y-groove and welding using an argon shielded non-consumable electrode. The sheath 2 and end cap 3 are made of a magnesium alloy.
