The effect of phase instability of stainless steel on the cladding deformation profiles of LMFBR fuel elements
Description
Enhanced deformation rates in LMFBR fuel element cladding are shown to be consistent with the occurrence of carbide precipitates. Swelling and creep equations, when modified to include the effects of carbide precipitation, account for such phenomena as the second diameter peak and certain large heat-to-heat variations observed in the cladding and irradiated elements.
