Abstract

Initial hydrothermal corrosion and steam exposures have been completed on ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) Zry4 specimens to compare to wrought Zry4 performance in both normal operation and accident conditions. Slightly higher mass gains were found for the UAM Zry4 specimens in both conditions, but these were generally associated with internal oxidation where delamination of build layers occurred in the UAM material. Further characterization is being completed to conclude this first phase of testing while a second phase is being planned.
