Development of M5 Cladding Material Correlations in the TRANSURANUS Code: Revision 1
The technical report is based on an earlier research on material properties of the M5 structural material. Complementing this research with new M5 data found in open literature, a set of correlations has been developed for the implementation to the TRANSURANUS code. This includes thermal, mechanical, and chemical (corrosion) properties of M5. As an example, thermal capacity or burst stress correlations have been proposed using the available experimental data.
The open literature provides a wide range of experimental data on M5, but for some quantities they are not complete enough to be suitable for the implementation to the TRANSURANUS code. A balanced consideration of similarity of M5 characteristics to those of Zircaloy-4 (Zry-4) or E110 have therefore led to the recommendation to use some of these data selectively also for M5. As such, creep anisotropy coefficients of E110 are recommended to be used also for M5.
