Feasibility Study to Determine Blending Characteristics and Extrudability of Aluminum and Silicon Carbide Coated Microspheres.

摘要

This report discusses the results from the extrudability studies done to determine if microspheres can be used to manufacture tubular fuel elements. Tests were carried out using both the small-scale extrusion press in the Fabrication Laboratory and the production extrusion press in the plant. 2 refs., 11 figs., 1 tab. (ERA citation 14:000124)
