Creep Rupture Strength and Creep Behavior of Vanadium/Titanium and Vanadium/Titanium/Niobium Alloys.

Abstract

Increasing interest has recently been shown in vanadium alloys since a number of properties render them suitable as canning materials for fast reactors. The requirements imposed on a material used for these purposes are high creep rupture strength in the range 600 - 800 c, the minimum possible damage due to neutron irradiation at low absorption cross sections for fast neutrons, adequate resistance with respect to the coolant (sodium) and the fuel (uranium oxide or uranium carbide) and good workability.
