Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Copper Alloys and Copper Alloy-Stainless Steel Laminates for Fusion Reactor High Heat Flux Applications
Abstract
dc:descriptionA solid plate of CuAl25 alloy hot isostatically pressed to a 316L stainless steel plate showed the best overall mechanical properties of the studied bi-metallic bonded panels. Bond properties were nominally inferior to constituent bulk material properties and fracture toughness values, in particular, were quite low for all bonded laminates. Delamination near the copper alloy-stainless steel interface was the dominate failure mode in the bi-metallic panels. The joining processes caused microstructural alterations in the bond interfacial regions including: microporosity, new precipitate formation, existing precipitate morphology changes and interdiffusion of constituent elements.
