In this paper, the low temperature sintering technology to UO2 pellets has been introduced, and we have studied the high temperature creep properties of the pellets which manufactured by low temperature sintering. The sintering temperatures are 1073K, 1273K, 1473K and 1673K, sintering time are 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hours respectively. We obtained the highest sintering density of pellets at 1673K with 3 hours, which is 10.41g/cm3 (94.98% theoretical density). The grain size of pellets which prepared by low temperature sintering technology and traditional technology are 9.0μm and 23.8μm respectively. So the high temperature creep properties of the two kinds of pellet must be studied. They were performed at 20–50 MPa, 1673K and 1773K respectively, under a nitrogen atmosphere to shorten the experimental time. According to the results, the creep rates of sintered UO2 with the grain sizes of 9.0μm and 23.8μm under the load of 10MPa are almost the same. The creep process is controlled by both Nabarro-Herring creep and Hamper-Dorn creep for uranium dioxide with grain size of 9.0μm; while Hamper-Dorn creep is the dominant mechanism for uranium dioxide with grain size of 23.8μm.

Nickel-based single crystal superalloys have been widely used in modern aircraft, which is related to its high temperature mechanical strength and creep properties. And the initial cubic γ′ precipitates start to coarsen directionally during high temperature creep, which results in the degradation of the mechanical properties, especially the creep properties. Therefore, it is essential to figure out the mechanism of directional coarsening during the period of high temperature creep. In this article, a broad review of rafting mechanism of nickel-based single crystal superalloys is provided. The major work of this critical review is to introduce several experiments and numerical simulations which are used to analyze the evolution of rafting. For three different numerical simulations, their performance, advantage and disadvantage are discussed in detail. Through methods above, the effect on creep properties is summarized.
