Reduced-activation ferritic-martensitic (RAFM) steels, candidate structural materials for
fusion reactors, have achieved technological maturity after about three decades of research …

During operation fusion reactor components will be exposed to long periods of neutron
irradiation. As such, a reactor's structural steels will become activated and need to be …

Property-oriented design of RAFM steels can greatly enhance the opportunity to discover
high-performance structural materials for fusion reactors, which has always been a big …

The degradation of structural materials caused by the corrosion of liquid lead‐bismuth
eutectic (LBE), the coolant of lead‐cooled fast reactors (LFRs), has become one of the …

A gradient nano-and submicron-structured surface layer of SIMP steel was produced by
means of shot peening (SP). Compared with the original samples, corrosion experiments at …

In the present study, electron beam welding (EBW) was used to join reduced-activation
ferritic-martensitic (RAFM) steel to 316L stainless steel. Microstructural evolution and …

The material properties, focusing on the properties used for design analysis were re-
assessed and newly investigated for various heats of reduced activation ferritic/martensitic …

Understanding the permeation behavior of tritium from a pebble bed breeding blanket is
essential for establishing a self-sufficient fuel cycle in a nuclear fusion reactor. It is known …

Blanket is the key energy conversion component of a fusion reactor, it is designed with a
large number of complex embedded cooling channels to remove the high nuclear heat …

A nanostructured surface layer was pre-formed on a 9Cr2WVTa reduced activation
ferritic/martensitic steel sample by means of surface mechanical rolling treatment (SMRT). In …
