NEUP CINR-17-12744: Development of Low Temperature Powder Spray Process for Manufacturing Fuel Cladding and Surface Modification of Reactor Components

The proposed research will focus on the development of low temperature powder spray deposition process for: [i] the manufacture of fuel cladding of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels, and [ii] deposition of coatings (e.g., functionally-graded and multilayered coatings) to address corrosion, stress corrosion cracking (SCC), and wear in reactor components. This technology is amenable to large-scale manufacturing and will lower costs.
