Abstract:With improved high-temperature properties, Alloy 709 shows great potential for advanced reactor applications. To understand the effects of sodium on A709, small tensile specimens were machined from two commercial heats and subjected to sodium exposure in two forced convection loops operated by Argonne. In parallel, thermal aging experiments were also conducted to isolate any sodium-specific effects. An increasing trend in yield strength and a decrease trend in ultimate tensile strength were observed with incre… Show more
