What are the challenges faced during machining of nuclear graphite and how does porosity affects the performance of graphite?

02 June 2016 1 1K Report

Nuclear graphite is used as moderators and reflector to energetic neutrons produced in the reactors. Which are the best techniques to machine nuclear graphite and can machining the nuclear graphite with EDM prove to be of some benefit?

Karl Toppler

While porous graphite is harder to machine to tight tolerances (manually), with enough care it is certainly possible.
