ABSTRACTThis paper reviews some fundamental aspects of the rapid solidification of iron-based alloys and commercial steels, concentrating on heat flow during cooling, the thermodynamics and kinetics of solidification, post-solidification solid state phase transformations, and the effect of these processes on the resulting steel microstructures.

Fuel particles for the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) contain a layer of pyrolytic silicon carbide to act as a miniature pressure vessel and primary fission product barrier. Optimization of the SiC with respect to fuel performance involves four areas of study: (a) characterization of as-deposited SiC coatings; (b) thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions between SiC and fission products; (c) irradiation behavior of SiC in the absence of fission products; and (d) combined effects of irradiation and fission products. This paper reports the behavior of SiC deposited on inert microspheres and irradiated to fast neutron fluences typical of HTGR fuel at end-of-life.
