Abstract EN
The stability of W against U, rare-earth (RE) elements, Cd, and various chlorides was evaluated by melting and distillation testing.
Three runs were performed with a W crucible to examine its reactivity: (i) RE melting by induction heating, (ii) salt distillation test of U-dendrite and various chlorides, and (iii) Cd distillation test from U–Cd alloy.
The W crucible remained stable after the RE melting test using induction melting, exhibiting its applicability for induction heating systems.
The salt distillation test with the W crucible at 1050°C exhibited the stability of W against U and various chlorides, showing no interaction.
The Cd distillation test with the W crucible at 500°C showed that the crucible was very stable against Cd, maintaining a shiny surface.
These results reveal that the W crucible is stable under operation conditions for both salt and Cd distillation, suggesting the high potential utility of W as a crucible material for application in cathode processes in pyroprocessing.
