Abstract

The prospects of estimating the quality of joining the layers of a three-layer pipe for the fuel claddings of a fast reactor from the results of a combined investigation, which includes computer-assisted quantitative metallography, microindentation, electron-probe microanalysis, and layer-by-layer atomic emission spectroscopy, are discussed.
