The present invention relates to a method for forming a hollow 26 of a ferritic FeCrAl alloy into a tube 2. While tubes made of powder metallurgical, dispersion hardened, ferritic FeCrAl alloys are commercially available, hollows made of FeCrAl alloys so far can hardly be formed into tubes of small dimensions. The major reason for the problems in forming hollows of a ferritic FeCrAI alloy into a finished product is that FeCrAl alloys are brittle. It is therefore an aspect of the present invention to provide a tube 2 made of a ferritic FeCrAl alloy having arbitrary small dimensions. Furthermore, it is an aspect of the present invention to provide a machine 1 and a method for forming a tubular hollow 26 into a finished tube 2 of a ferritic FeCrAl alloy. At least one of the above aspects is addressed by a method for forming a hollow into a tube 2 comprising the steps providing the hollow 26 of a ferritic FeCrAl alloy, heating the hollow 26 to a temperature in a range from 90 C. to 150 C., and forming the heated hollow 26 by pilger milling or drawing into the tube.

A roll stand, wherein at least two rolls for forming a workpiece are accommodated in the stand, and wherein a rolling force acting during the forming is supported by the roll stand, wherein the roll stand is produced by means of additive manufacturing.

This disclosure describes various configurations and components for bimetallic and trimetallic claddings for use as a wall element separating nuclear material from an external environment. The cladding materials are suitable for use as cladding for nuclear fuel elements, particularly for fuel elements that will be exposed to sodium or other coolants or environments with a propensity to react with the nuclear fuel.

The present disclosure relates to a tube made of an austenitic stainless steel comprising, in weight %, C0.080, 8.00Mn10.00, Si1.00, P0.030, S0.030, 19.00Cr21.50, 5.50Ni7.50, 0.15N0.40, Mo0.75, Cu0.75, which is balanced by Fe and normally occurring impurities. So far tubes made of an austenitic stainless steel comprising this composition of ingredients are welded. A major problem of welded tubes is the risk for cracking, where the weld zone is the preferential location for cracking. This is especially a problem for applications under extreme conditions like in the aircraft or aerospace industry. It is therefore an aspect of the present disclosure to provide a tube made of an austenitic stainless steel comprising the foresaid components which at least overcomes one of the foresaid problems. Furthermore, it is an aspect of the disclosure to provide tubes that have less weight as tube known from the state of the art but increases the security and lead to a higher standard in the aircraft and aerospace industry. At least one of the above aspects is solved by a foresaid tube, wherein that the tube is a seamless tube.
