Abstract EN
In sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFR), grid plate is a critical component which is made of 316 L(N) SS.
It is supported on core support structure.
The grid plate supports the core subassemblies and maintains their verticality.
Most of the components of SFR are made of 316 L(N)/304 L(N) SS and they are in contact with the liquid-metal sodium which acts as a coolant.
The peak operating temperature in SFR is 550°C.
However, the self-welding starts at 500°C.
To avoid self-welding and galling, hardfacing of the grid plate has become necessary.
Nickel based cobalt-free colmonoy 5 has been identified as the hardfacing material due to its lower dose rate by Plasma Transferred Arc Welding (PTAW).
This paper is concerned with the measurement and investigations of the effects of the residual stress generated due to thermal cycling on a scale-down physical model of the grid plate.
Finite element analysis of the hardfaced grid plate model is performed for obtaining residual stresses using elastoplastic analysis and hence the results are validated.
The effects of the residual stresses due to thermal cycling on the hardfaced grid plate model are studied.
