Description

The end or lateral welding of Mg-Zr plugs presents no special difficulties in the manufacture of fuel element slugs. The welding parameters were determined from penetrations and from the mechanical resistance. The unavoidable notching effect has received particular attention. It is possible to substitute a Mg-Zr plug without any modification of the optimum welding conditions and the various qualities of the weld. (author)

Abstract (French)

Le soudage en bout ou lateral de bouchon Mg-Zr ne pose pas de difficultes speciales dans la fabrication des cartouches d'elements combustibles. Les parametres de soudage ont ete determines a partir des penetrations et de la resistance mecanique. L'effet d'entaille qui ne peut etre evite a fait l'objet d'une etude particuliere. La substitution d'un bouchon Mg-Zr est possible sans que soient modifiees les conditions optima de soudage et les diverses qualites de la soudure. (auteur)
