armi.materials.ht9 module

Simple/academic/incomplete HT9 ferritic-martensitic stainless steel material.

This is a famous SFR cladding/duct material because it doesn’t void swell that much.

class armi.materials.ht9.HT9

Bases: armi.materials.material.Material

Simplified HT9 stainless steel.

Warning

This is an academic-quality material. When more detail is desired, a custom material should be implemented via a user-provided plugin.

name = 'HT9'

setDefaultMassFracs()

HT9 mass fractions

From E.2-1 of [MFH].

linearExpansionPercent(Tk=None, Tc=None)

Gets the linear expansion from E.2.2.2 in [MFH] for HT9.

The ref gives dL/L0 in percent and is valid from 293 - 1050 K.

thermalConductivity(Tk=None, Tc=None)

Thermal conductivity in W/m-K)

From [MFH], E.2.2.3, eq 5.

Tip

This can probably be sped up with a polynomial evaluator.
