NEUP DECP-29918: Advanced Surface Modification Strategies for Reliability Enhancement of Accident Tolerant Fuel Cladding in Nuclear Reactors

Proposed project will explore the capability of the multi-feeder laser powder DED and in-situ mechanical working-based hybrid DED technology developed at UND for surface modification of accident tolerant fuel claddings used in light water nuclear reactors. Post fabrication detailed microstructural characterization and property evaluation in particular hardness, tensile behavior and wear resistance characteristics of test samples will be explored.
