Tungsten-iron alloy was produced by electrodeposition. The electrodeposited alloy (15 at.% W) possesses a two-phase composite microstructure, containing a nanocrystalline phase of distorted BCC structure with a grain size between 50 to 150 nm and an amorph ...
The present paper reviews the status of the knowledge on materials for fusion power plants, pointing out that they constitute one of the main key issues on the path to future reactors. Specific issues concerning plasma-facing materials, functional material ...
The primary mission of the international fusion material irradiation facility (IFMIF) is to generate a material database to be used for the design of various components, for the licensing and for the assessment of the safe operation of a demonstration fusi ...
Thermal creep tests have been conducted on the EUROFER 97 reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steel and two kinds of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) EUROFER 97 steels, which were manufactured using slightly different powder metallurgy techni ...
The microstructural modifications due to irradiation in hcp pure metals and their consequences on the mechanical properties have been investigated. Experimental results for proton-irradiated pure polycrystalline titanium are presented and discussed. Sample ...
Within the European Union, the two major breeding blanket concepts presently being developed are the helium cooled pebble bed (HCPB), and the helium cooled lithium lead (HCLL) blankets. For both concepts, different conceptual designs are being discussed wi ...
Irradiation induces the formation of stacking fault tetrahedra (SFTs) in a number of fcc metals, such as stainless steel and pure copper. In order to understand the role of the material's parameters on this formation, pure Cu, Ni, Pd and Al, having a respe ...
