Selection of the Structural Material for the Faret Liquid-Metal Systems

Abstract

High-temperature Materials Specialists from U. S. Steel Corp. High-temperature Materials Specialists from Huntington Alloy Preducts, INCO We also arranged for a syrnposium on "Materials for Sodium-cooled Reactors," which was cosponsored by the AIME and the ANS and which was held at the 1963 Winter meeting of the ANS. We invited reacter engineers

PIPING MATERIALS FOR LMFBR PLANTS. Technical Report 228 (Revision 1).

“…In the most recent studies of lOOO-Mw(e) LMFBR's, the specified material for the primary systems is 304 SS. Similarly, 304 SS was recommended as a result of in-depth studies for the selection of structural materials for the FARET 2 and FFTF 3 liquid metal systems.…”

“…Stress relief is not required by the Codes for smaller diameter piping with less than 1/2-in. wall [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] thickness where proper welding control is utilized and the carbon content of the material has been limited to 0.15% maximum. 148…”
