Description

A friction welding technique has been developed for the transition joint of Zirconium alloy and stainless steel. Welding was carried out on a 60-ton friction welding machine for 15 mm diameter and 100 mm long Zircaloy-4 and SUS 304 stainless steel. The friction welded joint was tested mechanically, observed metallographically and irradiated in JMTR pressurized water loop. The joint proved to be suitable for the end plug of a water reactor fuel pin having a centerline temperature thermocouple. Details of the welding process and results of the tests are given. (auth.)
