NEUP CINR-18-15171: Oxidation behavior of silicon carbide and graphitic materials

The objectives of this proposed project are to determine the oxidation behavior of silicon carbide and graphitic materials in oxygen and/or moisture, to accurately measure the kinetic parameters of oxidation, to ascertain the oxidation mechanisms in relation to the microstructures, to determine the effect of irradiation on oxidation behavior, and to provide data and input to the safety analysis of high-temperature gas reactors under air and moisture ingress accident conditions.
