NEUP CINR-17-13004: Capacitive Discharge Resistance Welding of 14YWT for Cladding Applications

The objective of the proposed work is to join cladding tubes of 14YWT alloy and a ferritic ODS alloy using capacitor-discharge resistance welding (CDRW), a rapid, solid-state welding (SSW) process with very low heat input. The CDRW process is especially well suited for cladding applications. Results of the proposed work will provide a significant advance in the state of the knowledge for joining of 14YWT and ferritic ODS materials, and will permit their broader use with increased confidence.
