Laser beam welding properties and microstructural characterization of Kanthal APMT ferritic alloys in the application of accident tolerant fuel cladding

Ferritic FeCrAl steel is one of the most promising candidate materials for accident tolerant fuel cladding due to its excellent high temperature mechanical properties, low thermal expansion coefficient, and most importantly, very low void swelling rate under neutron irradiations....
