In this study an attempt was made to simulate the coextrusion process of the cladded finned tube manufacturing by extrusion of plasticine. The effects of the billet and the plate inserted between the ingot and extrusion die on the variation of clad thickness of the extruded tube were studied. The results showed that cladded tube with uniform thickness can be obtained by a proper combination of clad thickness of billet and the plate. The relative strength of the billet and clad materials did not affect significantly on the variation of the clad thickness of the extruded tubes.

There are a variety of heat exchangers used in automobiles, such as shell and tube heat exchangers, double tube heat exchangers, and plate heat exchangers. Most of them are water-cooled to prevent engine overheating. There have been reports of corrosion damage to these heat exchangers due to continuous wetting caused by external temperature differences, road pollutants, and snow removal. In addition, galvanic corrosion, which occurs when two dissimilar materials come into contact, has been identified as a major cause. In this study, corrosion characteristics and galvanic corrosion behavior of Al alloy (AA3003, AA4045 and AA7072) used in automobile heat exchangers were analyzed. Effective clad materials for heat exchanger tubes and fins were also evaluated. It was found that AA7072 should be applied as the cladding material for fin AA3003 and that AA4045 was suitable as a cladding material for tube AA3003 because this clad materials application was the most effective clad design to delay the occurrence of pinhole in the tube. Main factors influencing galvanic corrosion dissolution were found to be galvanic corrosion potential difference and galvanic corrosion current density.

원자력 발전소에 있어서 정상가동 상태나 이상동작시에 핵연료 피복관의 건전성 확보와 연관하여 피복재의 항복거동은 중요한 문제이다. 급격한 출력상승 상황에서 이산화 우라늄 소결체와 피복관 사이의 노내 조사거동의 차이는 소결체와 피복관 사이에 Contact Pressure를 야기 시킨다. 만일 이 Contact Pressure가 Zircaloy 피복관의 Yield Pressure에 도달하면 피복관에는 영구변형이 일어난다. 이 변형은 원자로의 출력이 정상상태로 회복되더라도 존재하므로 소결체와 피복관 사이의 Gap을 증대시킨다. 이러한 상황을 묘사하기 위해 본 논문에서는 구리 Mandrel과 Zircaloy사이의 열팽창 차이를 이용하는 Mandrel 팽창 실험을 실행했다. 실험 결과 측정된 Zircaloy 피복관의 외경 팽창치와 본 논문에서 유도된 수학적 관계식들을 이용하여 온도에 따른 Zircaloy 피복관의 내부항복압력과 항복응력, 피복재의 항복에 따른 핵연료 소결체와 피복관 사이의 Gap 증대를 구하고, 항복 거동에 따른 온도의 영향을 보기 위해 항복과정의 활성화 에너지를 구했다. 본 실험과 분석에서 얻어진 이들 결과들은 다른 실험 결과들과 상당히 일치하였으며, 이것으로 볼 때 본 논문에서 유도된 관계식들과 Mandrel 팽창 실험이 Zircaloy 피복관의 항복거동과 Gap Expansion 측정에 신뢰성이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In order to evaluate the tensile behaviors of hoop direction for the nuclear fuel cladding tubes the shapes of specimen and jig fixtures for the ring test are decided with various conditions under the elastic-large plastic deformations. The axial displacement of the jig cylinders is converted to the circumferential direction elongations of specimen. The stress distributions on specimen are depended on the radii and locations of specimen and jig size and central angle. Therefore we calculated the stress distributions and decided the optimum shapes to get the uniform stress in the area of specimen gage length. Form the analysis the stress distributions in gate area are reviewed with the radii and location of specimen notch and the central angle of jig cylinder,. The optimum shapes of specimen and jig are proposed to the clad tube having 10.62 mm in diameter and 0.63mm in thickness for 16x16 PWR nuclear fuel assembly.

우라늄을 내장한 연료봉은 핵분열이 일어나는 우라늄 펠렛(pellet)을 1차적으로 차폐하는 중요한 구조물이다. 연료봉은 원자로 내에서 유체유발진동에 의해 손상될 수 있으며, 본 연구에서는 유동유발진동 특성을 예측하기 위해 핵연료봉의 동특성 규명을 위한 모드해석을 수행하였다. 핵연료봉의 진동특성을 규명하기 위해 제작한 시험장치를 이용하여 피복관(clad tube)의 진동특성실험과 유한 요소 해석을 수행하였다. 모드시험(Modal Testing)은 현재 상용 핵연료봉(튜브)을 대상으로 수행되었으며, 유한 요소 해석 모델을 개발하여 해석 결과와 시험 결과를 비교 분석하였다.

Al-2wt.$\%$Zn 합금은 특히 해수에 대한 내식성이 우수하여 기화기 튜브의 회생양극재료로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 Al-2wt.$\%$Zn 용사코팅재는 모재금속과 코팅층사이의 결합강도부족, 해수의 낙하에너지에 의해 코팅층은 박리 된다. 이러한 용사코팅충의 문제점을 해결하고자 클래드재와 모재금속을 동시압출법을 통하여 클래드튜브 제조공정을 개발하였다. 클래드튜브의 내식성은 용사코팅튜브에 비하여 최소 2배 이상 향상되었다.

Cladding material, which can selectively obtain excellent properties of different metals, is a composite material that combines two or more types of dissimilar metals into one plate. The titanium-copper cladding material between titanium which has excellent corrosion resistance and copper which has high thermal and electrical conductivity, are highly valuable composite materials. It can be used as heat exchangers with high conductivity under severe corrosion conditions. In order to apply the clad plate to the heat exchanger, it must be manufactured in the form of a tube and additional welding is required. It is important to select the cladding material manufacturing process and the welding process. The process of manufacturing the cladding material includes extrusion, rolling, and explosive bonding. Among them, the explosive bonding process is suitable for additional welding because no heat-affected zone is formed. In this study TIG welding of the explosive-bonded dissimilar clad plates was successfully performed by butt welding. The microstructures and bonding interface of the welded part were observed, and the effect of the bonding layer at the welding interface and the intermetallic compounds on the mechanical properties and tensile plastic deformation behaviors were analyzed. And also the integrity of TIG-welded dissimilar part was evaluated.

The fuel of light water reactor is used for several years under high temperature and pressure, so it needs to be clad with high corrosion resistance material. The cladding materials must have the characteristics of low absorption of a neutron and high corrosion resistance. Zircaloy-2 in Boiling Water Reactor, Zircaloy-4 in Pressurized Water Reactor have been used as cladding materials and Zirlo has been developed as the material for preventing the corrosion. If the fracture of the cladding tube occurs during operation, it will cause the economic loss to shut down and replace the system. So it is needed to evaluate the integrity of the cladding materials. In this paper, the tensile characteristics of the cladding materials were investigated for the basic research of fracture characteristics. Also the residual stress was analyzed to compare the tube type(original type) specimen and the flattened type specimen.
