Improved corrosion resistance of additively-manufactured zirconium alloys

A process is described that includes forming a metal alloy component having a pre-specified three dimensional geometry for use in a nuclear reactor by an additive manufacturing process followed by annealing the formed component at a first annealing temperature within the alpha temperature range of t...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A process is described that includes forming a metal alloy component having a pre-specified three dimensional geometry for use in a nuclear reactor by an additive manufacturing process followed by annealing the formed component at a first annealing temperature within the alpha temperature range of the phase diagram for the metal alloy. A second annealing step at a second annealing temperature lower than the first annealing temperature may be added. Alternatively, annealing may be at an annealing temperature in the alpha+beta temperature range of a phase diagram for the metal alloy, followed by a second anneal in the alpha temperature range of the phase diagram for the metal alloy.
