The Directed Energy Deposition (DED) is a representative metal additive manufacturing method. Owing to its strong point of repairment, its application is gradually spreading in aerospace applications, power generation, military components, and mold making. 5-axis cladding is needed to repair damage, such as wear and scratches on cylindrical surfaces to circular-shaped parts, including sleeves and liners. Furthermore, the condition of cladding on inclined parts must also be considered to prevent interference between the nozzle and the part. In this study, the effects of changes in scanning speed due to the 5-axis control system and differences from the height of laser beam irradiation due to inclination are evaluated among the items that should be additionally considered in 5-axis cladding compared to 3-axis cladding. Moreover, the trends of the width and height of the clad are identified by different tilting angles via single line cladding. Lastly, cladding methods on cylindrical surfaces at various angles are proposed to enhance the clad quality and post-processing efficacy. These results can be applied with 5-axis cladding on inclined surfaces, including cylindrical surfaces.

A novel fabrication method of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel cladding tubes for advanced fast reactors has been investigated using the cold spray powder-based materials deposition process. Cold spraying has the potential advantage for rapidly fabricating ODS cladding tubes in comparison with the conventional multi-step extrusion process. A gas atomized spherical 14YWT (Fe-14%Cr, 3%W, 0.4%Ti, 0.2% Y, 0.01%O) powder was sprayed on a rotating cylindrical 6061-T6 aluminum mandrel using nitrogen as the propellant gas. The powder lacked the oxygen content needed to precipitate the nanoclusters in ODS steel, therefore this work was intended to serve as a proof-of-concept study to demonstrate that free-standing steel cladding tubes with prototypical ODS composition could be manufactured using the cold spray process. The spray process produced an approximately 1-mm thick, dense 14YWT deposit on the aluminum-alloy tube. After surface polishing of the 14YWT deposit to obtain desired cladding thickness and surface roughness, the aluminum-alloy mandrel was dissolved in an alkaline medium to leave behind a free-standing ODS tube. The as-fabricated cladding tube was annealed at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in an argon atmosphere to improve the overall mechanical properties of the cladding.

핵연료소결체의 편심이 정상상태에서 핵연료봉 열적 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 지배방정식은 핵연료소결체와 피복관영역에 대해 2차원 원통좌표계 (r, $\theta$)로 각각 세우고 유한요소법으로 풀었다. 갭(gap)영역에서 방위각 의존적인 열전달계수를 사용하여 동심구조는 그대로 두는 반면 갭크기의 비대칭성을 고려하였다. 재료물성치는 온도의 함수로 사용되었으며 체적 열발생은 반경의 함수로 고려하였다. 핵연료 소결체의 편심으로 인해 피복관 외부 표면에서 최대국부열속은 증가하였고, 핵연료 소결체의 최대온도와 핵연료 평균온도는 감소하였다. 전자는 최소 DNBR계산시 불확실도에 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각되며, 후자의 두현상은 핵연료 소결체의 용융 가능성과 사고시 핵연료 잠재에너지를 줄어들게 할 것으로 예상된다. 또한, 핵연료 소결체의 편심으로 인해 핵연료 소결체의 온도분포는 비대칭을 이루고 최대온도의 위치는 변동되었다.
