Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

One of the main objectives of the GCFR project is to contribute towards the development of the 50 MW Experimental Test and Demonstration Reactor(ETDR), which is designed to be the first gas cooled fast reactor to be constructed. The ETDR will be fuelled initially with "traditional" fast reactor MOX fuel in stainless cladding and will progressively test advanced GCFR fuels including dense(carbide/nitride) fuels contained in a ceramic matrix.

Record 5 2001-10-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Research Experiments in Space
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

Advanced Furnace for microgravity Experiment with X-ray radiography(AFEX). A multi-user image furnace with the capability for in-situ observation using X-ray radiography. A sample placed in the focus of a gold-plated ellipsoidal mirror is heated and melted by radiation from a 1500 W halogen lamp. Alternatively, isothermal heating of samples can be carried out using ceramic heaters placed around the sample. AFEX is allocated the entire resources of Materials Science Rack 2.

Subject field(s)
  • Ceramics (Industries)
CONT

Ceramics, one of the three major materials families, are crystalline materials composed of compounds of metallic and non-metallic elements. The ceramic family ... includes such materials as refractories, glass, brick, cement and plaster, abrasives, sanitaryware, dinnerware, artware, porcelain enamel, ferroelectrics, ferrites and dielectric insulators. ... other materials ... are often included in this family. These are carbon and graphite, mica and asbestos. Also, intermetallic compounds, such as aluminides and beryllides ... and cermets ... The major difference between the common and high-grade technical ceramics is that the high-grade types do not have a glassy matrix.

CONT

Because of safety and reliability requirements, the use of monolithic ceramic components in aircraft engines is still in the research and development stage. However, it was recognized quite early that ceramic coatings could insulate engine parts from hot combustion gases and were used for reducing metal temperatures of, and providing corrosion protection for, turbine blades.

OBS

... the use of plasma-sprayed advanced ceramic coating is [now] in commercial practice.
