摘要:
A casting and molding equipment for producing an amorphous alloy structural unit, including an injection system, an alloy melting system, a material feeding system, a mold system, a vacuum system, and a protective gas supply system. The injection system includes an injection tube, an injection mechanism, and a plunger rod; the plunger rod is adapted to move along an inner wall of the injection tube, and the injection mechanism is configured to control a moving direction and moving speed of the plunger rod. The alloy melting system includes a melting chamber and a heating unit; the heating unit is configured to melt an alloy material in the melting chamber; the heating unit includes an induction coil or resistance wire; the melting chamber is disposed in the injection tube, and the heating unit is disposed out of the injection tube.

Systems and methods for fabricating metallic nuclear fuels are described. Methods may include preparing a metal feedstock charge; injection casting the metal feedstock charge into one or more molds to form one or more injection cast fuel slugs; determining one or more properties of the one or more injection cast fuel slugs; inserting one or more injection cast fuel slugs with acceptable properties into one or more jackets to form a plurality of fuel pins; and assembling a plurality of fuel pins into a multi-pin fuel assembly. The method may produce at least one multi-pin fuel assembly per day, wherein each of the at least one multi-pin fuel assemblies includes at least one hundred fuel pins.
摘要:
Elongated members of reactive metals and alloys thereof, for example, uranium and alloys thereof, are cast from a crucible containing the molten metal blanketed with an inert gas and non-reactive prepared molten slag, directly into a mould protruding from the crucible. The cast metal is spray cooled with inert gas, which may be liquefied, as it emerges from an outlet end of the mould and is pulled, for example by rollers, into and possibly through an inert gas flushed container directly connected to the mould outlet end.

Systems and corresponding methods are described herein that provide an effective inert blanket over a metal surface (hot solid (charge) metal or molten metal) in a container such as an induction furnace. The system includes a container of metal and a system configured to delivery biphasic inert cryogen toward the metal. The delivery system may include a lance disposed at the top of the container. The lance has a hood that directs both a flow of liquid cryogen and a flow of vaporous gas toward the metal surface. The liquid cryogen contacts the metal surface, generating a volume of expanding gas over the metal surface. The vaporous cryogen creates a reinforcing vapor that slows the expansion rate of the expanding gas, localizing the expanding gas over the metal surface.

In an Ag, Cu, Ge alloy containing boron as grain refiner, investment castings of a clean bright silvery appearance and/or free from cracking defects are obtained by incorporation of silicon, in some embodiments in the absence of added zinc.
摘要:
An investment casting system for producing a cast article from a reactive metal that is free of an undesirable surface layer generally associated with the reaction between the molten metal and the casting mold. In one form the casting mold is substantially free of silica. A silica free ceramic crucible for heating and holding molten reactive metal is also contemplated herein.
