Investigation of the Technical Feasibility of Cold Extrusion for Zircaloy-2 Tubing Production. Technical Progress Report
Description:
The feasibility of cold extrusion for Zircaloy-2 tube production was studied and the basic feasibility of cold extruding Zircaloy-2 was indicated. Lubrication systems, composed of a lubricant and a conversion coating, were developed and evaluated for the current application. A fluoride-phosphate base coating and a number of promising lubricants were selected for actual extrusion tests. Bars of Zircaloy-2 were successfully cold-extruded to reductions of 50, 65, and 80%. The best lubricants provi…
