Definitions
- the invention concerns metal alloys, and more particularly metal alloys intended for use with the high temperatures, for instance approximately 700 C., to which materials are subjected when used as a protection sheath for nuclear fuel used in fast neutron nuclear reactors.
- Certain austenitic stainless steels have properties which make them suitable for use in making protection sheaths for nuclear fuel used in nuclear reactors of the thermal type.
- the crystal structure of these steels i.e. the faced centred cubic system, contributes to their high mechanical properties.
- a metallic alloy would be desirable which, while conserving good resistance to corrosion and excellent mechanical properties, these being the result of a hardening of solid solution and precipitation hardening, has distinctly less sensitivity to fragile breaking.
- the metallic alloy forming the subject of the invention contains, by weight:
- the above alloys may be prepared in a normal crucible (fritted magnesia) in accordance with the customary method, cast, and cooled, preferably under vacuum or under an inert or neutral atmosphere. No particular problem is posed by their method of preparation.
- the invention also aims at producing a method of treatment which, applied to the above-mentioned alloys, makes it possible to improve the properties still further.
- these alloys are subjected to at least one operation comprising heating to a temperature which is sufiicient (most frequently 1,000 C.) to put in solution all the solid precipitates which may be present, the heating being followed, preferably at temperature which is as near as possible to the heating temperature, by between 20% and 60% hot working, this thermomechanical treatment leading to a fresh distribution of the hardening precipitation.
- the concentration ranges in the basic Fe-Cr-Ti alloy are chosen for the following resaons. If the Ti content is below 2% there is insufficient precipitation hardening, whereas if the content is above 7%, the elongation at fracture is below 8%. A Cr content below 13% gives insufficient resistance to oxidation, whereas at concentrations above 25%, brittleness occurs, due to the appearance of the delta phase, at 500700 C.
- the optimal additional elements improve the basic alloy by increasing the mechanical strength at service tem peratures due to intermetallic precipitates, refining the structure when submitted to thermo-mechanical treatment, and allowing easier forming of the alloy.
- EXAMPLE 1 A ferritic alloy, having the composition 13% Cr, 5% Ti, balance Fe, was extruded at 1050" C. The following properties were obtained at 700 C.:
- EXAMPLE 2 A ferritic alloy, having the composition given below: 13% Cr, 5% Ti, 2% V, 0.2% A1, 0.1% Ce, balance Fe, was prepared, cast, cooled and then aged for three days at a temperature of 700 C. It then had the following mechanical properties measured at 700 C. at a traction speed of 0.5 per min.:
- At least one rare earth metal from zero to 0.5% per rare earth metal; the balance being iron and incidental impurities.
