The project is about improving the joint strength between bearing/spacer pad and fuel tube of nuclear reactors with minimal microstructural alteration of base materials using resistivebrazingtechniquewhereinZr-basedmetallicglasses and low melting eutectic alloys will act as filler material. Various methodologies of integrating the filler materialto bearing pad like magnetron sputtering, laser/resistance stitching will be explored. Methodology will be developed to brazethisintegratedbearingpadtofueltubethroughresistive brazing.Evaluationofthestrengthofthejointswillbecarried outusingmechanicaltesting.Irradiationstabilityofthejoints willalsobeinvestigated.
