Zircaloy-4 & Cr-coated cladding tensile test results and post-processing methods

Dr. JaeYong Kim
Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute

 

Abstract:

KAERI conducted tensile tests on Zircaloy-4 cladding and Cr-coated cladding at room temperature, 350°C, and 600°C. Two types of tensile tests were performed: the ring tensile test and the axial tensile test. This presentation provides an overview of the tensile test results and the post-processing techniques utilized to determine mechanical properties from the test data.

 

Bio:

JaeYong Kim has been working at KAERI since 2004. He is working at the Light Water Reactor (LWR) fuel technology research division as a principal researcher. He is responsible for project management and fuel performance code development, as well as modelling and evaluation accident tolerant fuels, evaluation of mechanical behaviour of dry storage system of CANDU spent fuel, mechanical integrity analysis by FEM and mechanical characteristic tests of fuel components/various types of fuel assemblies. In 2015, he received a Ph.D. title at the Chung-Nam national university. He is currently in charge of “the Development of Safety Enhanced Nuclear Core Technology for APR” project, and is participating in several projects.
