Evolution of the tensile properties of the tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97 after spallation irradiation at SINQ

Philippe Spätig, Hans-Peter Seifert, Yong Dai, Serafin Knitel

Small disk tensile specimens of the reduced activation tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97 were tested from −100 °C up to 370 °C before and after irradiation in the spallation source SINQ at Paul Scherrer Institute. The calculated irradiation dose and hel ...

Supercritical CO2 injection and residence time in fluid-saturated rocks: Evidence for CO2 and mineral dissolution and effects on rock integrity

Lucas Xan Pimienta, Ke Liu

CO2 injection and storage in geological reservoirs is an attractive prospect for mitigating the anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases and global warming. The technology could lead to mineral precipitation and therefore stable storage over geological ...

Embrittlement induced by the synergistic effects of radiation damage and helium in structural steels

Kun Wang

Ferritic/martensitic steels are candidate materials for fusion reactor structural components, liquid metal containers of spallation neutron sources, and accelerator driven systems, with good radiation resistance and thermo-mechanical properties. However, e ...

Transverse heat transfer coefficient in the dual channel ITER TF CICCs Part I: Analysis of steady state temperature profiles resulting from annular heating

Two ITER IF dual channel Cable-in-Conduit Conductors (CICCs) have been tested in the SULTAN test facility. The samples were heated either by foil heaters mounted on the outside of the conductor jacket or by induced AC losses. The steady-state temperature r ...

Quench analysis of a high-current forced-flow HTS conductor model for fusion magnets

Rainer Wesche, Luca Bottura

A fundamental understanding of the quench phenomenon is particularly important in the design and operation of magnets using High Temperature Superconductors because the quench propagation velocity is low due to high specific heat at high temperature. We ha ...
