Description

Pechiney and Brush UOX BeO differ markedly in fabrication behaviour, only Brush UOX being readily sinterable. A comparative study of the two powders has shown few outstanding differences in powder properties. Both are of high purity but contain free and combined moisture to the extent of about 1.5 per cent. Pechiney BeO has a larger mean crystallite size (0.2 — 0.3μ) than Brush UOX (0.1 — 0.15μ) and a larger range of crystallite size, and both contain a small proportion of crystallites of size 1μ. and larger. The tap density of UOX is much lower than that of Pechiney, and … continued below

Description

Pechiney and Brush UOX BeO differ markedly in fabrication behaviour, only Brush UOX being readily sinterable. A comparative study of the two powders has shown few outstanding differences in powder properties. Both are of high purity but contain free and combined moisture to the extent of about 1.5 per cent. Pechiney BeO has a larger mean crystallite size (0.2 — 0.3μ) than Brush UOX (0.1 — 0.15μ) and a larger range of crystallite size, and both contain a small proportion of crystallites of size 1μ. and larger. The tap density of UOX is much lower than that of Pechiney, and its surface area is higher by a factor of two, UOX BeO can be hot—pressed or cold—pressed and sintered to high densities at temperatures of 1400º and 1500ºC respectively, which are approximately 300ºC lower than those required for Pechiney. Grain size of fabricated material increases with fabrication temperature in both grades, and at the same temperatures is larger for UOX than Pechiney. However, at comparable densities grain sizes are also comparable for the two materials, The bend strength at room temperature of hot—pressed Pechiney BeO reaches a maximum of approximately 30,000 p.s.i. when pressed at 1750ºC. Above this temperature the strength falls due to increasing crystallite size. Cold—pressed and sintered Brush UOX appears weaker, possibly due to weaker grain boundary cohesion. Cold—pressed and sintered BeO is considered to be worthy of most intensive study as an irradiation resistant material, and suggestions are given for improving its strength and homogeneity and decreasing its crystallite size.
