International audience; SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites are promising cladding candidates to improve the accident tolerance of the fuel in pressurized water reactors. Indeed, their excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures (above 1200°C) would give them additional margins to face a loss of coolant. In this work, the mechanical behavior of a filament wound tube under cyclic tensile stress is performed in order to investigate the impact of two types of manufacturing defects on the mechanical behavior. The defects studied correspond to local modifications of the composite microstructure. For both classes of defects, the same methodology is used, consisting in performing mechanical cyclic tensile tests in the tube axis direction with post-analysis to assess fine parameters. The results allow characterizing the elastic behavior, as well as, the behavior during matrix microcracking through the consideration of unload-reload cycles. Microstructiral analyses are performed to establish the mechanical properties/microstructures relationship.

Modern industry has become increasingly reliant on composite materials for a variety of applications. and the nuclear industry is no exception to this.Among the materials being researched as Enhanced Accident Tolerant Fuels, ceramic matrix composites such as SiC-fiber-reinforced SiC (Sic
f /SiC) figure as some prime candidates due to their excellent high temperature performances. Sicf /SiC so far shows adequate nuclear, mechanical and chemical propertiex: still, the thermal properties need further investigation.The thermal behavior of a material ix an important factor for its performance as a nuclear fuel cladding, i.e. the first barrier encapsulating the fuel pellets. Many features determine the resulting properties of composite materials, such as matrix and fiber reinforcement properties and orientation, void fraction, and pore morphology. This study establishes a methodology to study the physical properties of composite materials and applies it to Sicf /SiC . A FEM model is uxed to characterize the thermal properties of a fundamental Sicf /SiC element. referred to as a "unit cell", with the objective of accurately predicting the thermal properties of this complex class of materials where experimental data is often difficult to obtain. The unit cell is built based on data acquired with high-resolution tomographic microscopy performed at the TOMCAT beamline of the Swiss Light Source. By using phase-retrieval prior to tomographic reconstruction, the pores, fibers and matrix that compose the material can be distinguished in the data analysis. The separated information is processed to obtain geometrical information about the individual pores and fibers, which is then used to parametrize them as cylindrical objects. This allows constructing a FEM model of a cubic unit cell that is used to extract the effective then mal properties of Sicf /SiC. The analysis scheme includes steady-state and dynamic thermal transport simulations, which yield directional effective thermal conductivity and diffusivity values, respectively. Both modes of analysis show isotropic thermal conductivity values in the range of 71 W/m/K at room temperature, more than three times that of currently employed nuclear cladding materials. Combining these results with the data on the larger structural features of the material will lead to realistic results on the macroscopic thermal properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

International audience; SiC/SiC composites are promising candidates for nuclear fuel cladding due to their outstanding mechanical resistance and properties at high temperatures (>1200°C). During the manufacturing process, a grinding phase of both the external and internal surfaces is required to respect the dimensional specifications which results in local modifications. In this work, the impact of the grinding process on the mechanical behavior is studied. For that purpose, several batches have been produced with various surface finishes, differing in their level of internal and external grindings (raw CVI tubes, tubes ground at the inner and outer sides with a fine control of grinded thickness). On the one hand, the mechanical behavior was investigated by performing uniaxial cyclic tensile tests and monitoring several inherent parameters. On the other hand, the microstructure was studied in the initial and final states by cross-sectional microscope observations and scanning electron microscopy performed on fracture surfaces. To establish microstructure/properties relationships, a unidirectional model is used. It has been enriched to take into account the investigated CVI-SiC/SiC tubes specificities. Today, the implemented model allows understanding the impact of local defects induced by the different levels of grinding on the tubes mechanical behavior.

[CHIM.MATE]Chemical Sciences/Material chemistry - Abstract
International audience; SiC/SiC composites have aroused interest for fusion and fission nuclear applications due to their thermomechanical properties at high temperature and behavior under irradiation (low swelling, neutron transparency, …), essentially as core materials. In this aim, the CEA has been working on the manufacture and the development of tubular SiC/SiC composites cladding elements for more than a decade. During this period, an optimization of the mechanical properties and the mastering of the manufacturing process have been conducted. Third generation SiC fibers, Hi-Nicalon S and Tyranno SA3, and high-purity CVI pyrocarbon interphase and SiC matrix have been employed for their expected behavior under irradiation. However, the latter consequences have to be properly evaluated. Different types of materials have then been produced for several irradiations. Firstly, the manufacturing process and the materials characterization will be described as the irradiations conditions. The CROCUS irradiation was aimed to determine the mechanical behavior of SiC/SiC minicomposites and of various brazing fillers while the CEDRIC irradiation had as objective to follow their creep at high temperature (600 – 1000°C). The TIRAMISU purpose was to evaluate the effect of high-doses (> 100 dpa) at the Sodium Fast Reactor temperature (550°C). The aftermath of these irradiations on the materials dimensions (swelling) as well as on its structure (fibers, interphase) and mechanical properties will then be evaluated.

[CHIM.MATE]Chemical Sciences/Material chemistry - Abstract
International audience; In response to Fukushima Daiichi accident, the nuclear industry across the world initiated research programs aimed at developing a new generation of safer fuel systems which will maximize safety and provide economic benefits to utilities. Framatomes strategy regarding Enhanced Accident tolerant Fuel (EATF) relies on a two-phased approach enabling the balancing of benefits with speed to market. The first phase consists of a near term evolutionary solution improving safety and fuel cycle economics while being compliant with insertion of batches by 2025. A second, longer-term solution, SiC/SiC fuel rods, aimed to offer drastic improvements during beyond design basis accidents.In order to contain radioactive material in fuel rods even in beyond-design basis accidents, where the core temperature can rise in excess of 1200°C, Framatome is developing a Silicon Carbide (SiC) based cladding solution, PROtect SiC. This advanced cladding offers high strength and reduced oxidation, along with other favorable attributes in both normal and accident conditions, thus proving to be a potential replacement to traditional zirconium based cladding. In the past year, Framatome and CEA jointly made systematic improvements to their 2014 sandwich design to address critical technical challenges such as hydrothermal corrosion, hermeticity and sealing the ends of the cladding tube.Further efforts are focused on continuing testing and evaluation of candidate solutions in test reactors. This paper outlines the irradiation testing being planned on SiC for accelerated development and implementation in the current fleet of commercial light water reactors. The plan includes loop testing of SiC fuel rods in Advanced Test Reactor ATF-2, followed by transient testing of both fresh and irradiated fuel at Transient Reactor Test facility (TREAT). Additionally, this paper presents qualitative analysis of safety benefits associated with SiC cladding in both design basis and beyond design basis accidents.

International audience; To improve the tolerance of the fuel towards accidental scenarios of light water reactors (LWR), an extensive R&D is performed by the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) in the framework of the French Nuclear Institute with FRAMATOME and EDF. In particular, fuel cladding constituted of silicon carbide continuous fiber ceramic matrix composite materials (SiCf/SiC) is considered as a long-term option besides evolutionary designs (e.g. Cr-coated cladding).The outstanding mechanical behaviour of SiCf/SiC cladding tubes at high temperature and their low oxidation rate, resulting in reduction in hydrogen generation, has been previously reported both in LWR operating conditions and in high temperature steam conditions. However, after exposure in autoclaves, some recession of the SiC was detected. Even if it remains limited, this raises the question of the cladding dissolution, the resulting pollution of the primary loop by silicium-base species and the effect of the water flow on these phenomena.The present work reports the preliminary result obtained in a corrosion loop especially developed at CEA to address the flow accelerated corrosion of SiCf/SiC cladding tubes. The device FACETT (Flow Accelerated Corrosion Experiments for Tube Testing) allows to investigate four 50-mm-long tubes in primary loop conditions (350°C, appropriate chemistry) and with water flow of 4 m.s-1. Sampling of the media can be performed to follow the chemistry change. The results will include weight loss measurements, surface examination and chemical analyses after a 5-month-exposure of CEA-made SiCf/SiC cladding tubes. A comparison with the results obtained in static media will be done.

International audience; Le concept de tube hexagonal mixte avec tronçons en composite SiC/SiC et armure métallique, destiné à contenir le faisceau d’aiguilles de combustible, constitue une option séduisante sur le plan fonctionnel pour un réacteur nucléaire de quatrième génération à spectre rapide et à caloporteur gaz et/ou sodium. Il autorise dans son principe une utilisation à haute température, acquise grâce à un comportement mécanique acceptable jusqu’au-delà des plages habituelles de fonctionnement, tout en satisfaisant les contraintes de transparence neutronique et de résistance à l’irradiation. En s’appuyant sur l’expertise acquise dans le cadre du développement des gaines de combustible réfractaires, des tronçons hexagonaux prototypes en composites ont pu être récemment élaborés. Une solution privilégiée pour le renfort fibreux a consisté en la mise au point d’une architecture hybride associant la technologie d’enroulement filamentaire pour la partie interne à un tressage interlock en seconde paroi. Compte tenu des dimensions conséquentes de l’objet comparativement à celles des gaines, une voie nouvelle fondée sur l’utilisation d’un fil plat multibrins, préalablement préparé à partir à partir de fils unitaires a été expérimentée. En première approche, ces essais on été conduits à partir de fibres de carbone. La matrice de carbure de silicium a été obtenue par le procédé d’infiltration en phase gazeuse. Ce travail restitue l’état des travaux engagés pour concevoir ces nouvelles structures composites. Les microstructures élaborées sont ici décrites en termes de recouvrement, de régularité et de porosité aux différentes échelles d’observation du composite. Une analyse fine par tomographie X permet d’accéder aux chemins de tressage. Enfin, le comportement mécanique est évalué à température ambiante à partir d’essais de flexion 3 points et de traction uni-axiale réalisés avec cycles de charge et décharge sur des éprouvettes prélevées dans l’axe (0°). Au-delà des amplitudes modestes des contraintes atteintes qui dépendent de la nature du renfort, les résultats obtenus démontrent la pertinence de la voie proposée pour concevoir un matériau « défragilisé ».

[CHIM.MATE]Chemical Sciences/Material chemistry ,Materials - Abstract
10 pages; International audience; For the first time SiC/C composite foams were prepared from concentrated emulsions by carbothermal reduction of biosourced precursors combining sodium silicate by lignin at 1400 °C. The composition of the materials was determined by XRD, FTIR and Raman analyses. Their porous structure was characterized by SEM, mercury intrusion porosimetry, and nitrogen sorption, while their thermal properties were measured by TGA and dynamic DSC. Concerning their heat transport properties, we found out that when the starting lignin content was increased, the final C/Si ratio, the specific surface area and the heat diffusivity increased as well. Its unprecedented high values were attributed to a cooperative effect between radiative heat transfer and the presence of partially graphitized carbon.

International audience; Afin d'améliorer la sécurité et l'optimisation des ressources en uranium, le CEA développe les réacteurs de fission de IVème génération. Ils proposent alors plusieurs modèles pour confiner le matériau fissible dont le concept aiguille utilisant des tubes CMC SiCf/SiC. Le dimensionnement de structures tubulaires en CMC de faible diamètre et de faible épaisseur n'est pas une chose aisée puisque peu d'études à travers le monde portent sur ce sujet. Notre travail est divisé en deux parties i) mettre au point une méthode permettant de faire des essais de traction et de pression interne sur de tels tubes ii) créer un modèle numérique pour simuler le comportement de ces tubes et permettre leur dimensionnement. Cet article traite principalement de l'adaptation de la géométrie à partir du logiciel Gentools développé au laboratoire et qui permet le maillage de composites tissés multicouches.

This work is an original contribution to the study of the thermostructural composite materials thermal behaviour. It aims to develop a methodology with a new experimental device for thermal characterization adapted to this type of material and to model the heat transfer by conduction within these heterogeneous media. The first part deals with prediction of the thermal effective conductivity of stratified composite materials in the three space directions. For that, a multiscale model using a rigorous morphology analysis of the structure and the elementary properties is proposed and implemented. The second part deals with the thermal characterization at high temperature. It shows how to estimate simultaneously the thermal effusivity and the thermal conductivity. The present method is based on the observation of the heating from a plane sample submitted to a continuous excitation generated by Joule effect. Heat transfer is modelled with the quadripole formalism, temperature is here measured on two sides of the sample. The development of both resistive probes for excitation and linear probes for temperature measurements enables the thermal properties measured up to 1000°C. Finally, some experimental and numerical application examples lead to review the obtained results.; Ce travail apporte une contribution originale à l'étude du comportement thermique des composites thermostructuraux à haute température. Il se consacre à la fois au développement d'une méthodologie et d'un nouveau dispositif expérimental de caractérisation thermique par contact adapté pour ce type de matériau ainsi qu'à la modélisation des transferts de chaleur par conduction au sein de ces milieux hétérogènes. La première partie du document traite de la prédiction de la conductivité thermique effective de composites stratifiés 2D dans les trois directions de l'espace. Pour cela, une stratégie de modélisation multiéchelle, s'appuyant sur une analyse morphologique précise des matériaux étudiés et sur la connaissance de leurs propriétés élémentaires, est proposée puis appliquée. La seconde partie du document aborde la caractérisation thermique en température et démontre comment identifier simultanément l'effusivité et la conductivité thermique. La méthode développée est fondée sur l'observation de l'échauffement d'un échantillon plan soumis à un créneau de flux généré par Effet Joule. L'écriture du modèle direct (1-D) fait appel au formalisme des quadripôles thermiques, les observables sont les températures en face avant et en face arrière de l'échantillon. La mise au point de sondes résistives et de capteurs de température linéiques, revêtus de faible épaisseur de céramique isolante permet la réalisation de mesures jusqu'à 1000°C. Enfin, divers exemples d'applications expérimentales et numériques conduisent à une analyse critique de l'ensemble des résultats

For the first time SiC/C composite foams were prepared from concentrated emulsions by carbothermal reduction of biosourced precursors combining sodium silicate by lignin at 1400 °C. The composition of the materials was determined by XRD, FTIR and Raman analyses. Their porous structure was characterized by SEM, mercury intrusion porosimetry, and nitrogen sorption, while their thermal properties were measured by TGA and dynamic DSC. Concerning their heat transport properties, we found out that when the starting lignin content was increased, the final C/Si ratio, the specific surface area and the heat diffusivity increased as well. Its unprecedented high values were attributed to a cooperative effect between radiative heat transfer and the presence of partially graphitized carbon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Boron nitride thin films were deposited on carbon fibres by chemical vapor deposition from the single source precursor tris(dimethylamino)borane (TDMAB). Hydrogen was used as carrier gas and additional nitrogen was supplied in the form of ammonia. The heating of the substrate was performed by Joule effect. Detailed TEM structural and chemical analyses reveal a meso-graphitic structure with a stoichiometric B/N ratio as confirmed by Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). A penetration of carbon element from the fibre was observed in the BN layer close to the interface. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
