EUROFER97 is the european Reduced Activation Ferritic-Martensitic (RAFM) steel,
candidate to be used as a structural material in fusion energy systems. One of its operational …

Determining the mechanisms for irradiation-induced ductility loss is crucial for the design of
reactor structural components. Here, the deformation characteristics around nanoindents in …

New RAFM steels, with intragranular VN precipitates for enhanced creep strength, were
irradiated with 2MeV Fe+ ions at 600° C to explore MX-type precipitate response to extreme …

The crystal orientation effect on the mechanical properties and micro-deformation behavior
of single-crystal iron (SC Fe) were revealed by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The …

Tensile properties (strength and ductility) of three different experimental EUROFER97
