Understanding the microstructure-property correlation is critical for the performance evaluation of in-service materials and the development of advanced materials for nuclear …
ZrB 2, an ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) is being considered for use in fusion reactor first-wall structures, yet its response to irradiation remains poorly understood. This …
Abstract Characterization methods capable of providing critical information across multiple structural length scales are essential in materials exposed to the extreme environments such …
High-energy x-ray diffraction is employed to gain insight into the irradiation-induced creep behavior of silicon carbide (SiC). Polycrystalline β-SiC specimens were simultaneously …
The in situ response of stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric uranium dioxide during flash sintering is examined using high energy X-ray diffraction. Our results show that the onset of …
Ni-based alloys, such as alloys 690 and 625, are widely used in the nuclear industry as structural components, because of their desirable mechanical properties and resistance to …
We describe our recent efforts demonstrating direct current sintering parameters appropriate to mimic near-identical microstructure to optimize reduced activation ferritic martensitic …
