Effect of warm pre-stressing on fracture toughness of Eurofer97 steel

Philippe Spätig, Nazar Ilchuk

Experiments and finite element simulations have been carried out to assess the warm pre-stressing effects on the effective fracture toughness of the high-chromium reduced activation tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97. The experiments have been conducted ...

Processing and Consolidation of TaC/HfC Based Composites Using MoSi2 and Carbon Nanotubes

Mehdi Mazaheri

Tantalum and hafnium carbides are classified as Ultra High Temperature Ceramics (UHTC) because of their extreme melting temperatures (above 3900 degrees C). Therefore, these materials can safely operate in the range of temperature that any other materials ...

Investigation of liquid LBE embrittlement effects on irradiated ferritic/martensitic steels by slow-strain-rate tensile tests

Nadine Baluc, Yong Dai

In the present work, LBE (lead-bismuth eutectic) embrittlement effects on ferritic/martensitic (FM) steels have been studied by conducting slow-strain-rate tensile (SSRT) testing on T91 and F82H steels either in Ar or in liquid LBE after irradiation to dos ...

Deformation and Fracture Toughness of Two-Phase Titanium Aluminides

Nicolas Vincent Barbi

This thesis is an exploration of deformation and fracture properties of a novel two-phase α2 + γ Ti46Al8Ta (at.%) alloy featuring a "convoluted" microstructure, produced by partners within a European Union project named IMPRESS. Properties of this alloy ar ...

Liquid lead-bismuth embrittlement effects on unirradiated and irradiated ferritic/martensitic steels for nuclear applications

Bin Long

In liquid metal spallation targets such as the MEGAPIE (the megawatt pilot experiment) target and the future ADS (accelerator driven system) spallation targets, which utilize liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) as the target material, liquid metal embrittle ...

3D finite element and experimental study of the size requirements for measuring toughness on tempered martensitic steels

Philippe Spätig, Pablo Federico Mueller

The fracture properties of the tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97, which is among the main candidates for fusion power plant structural applications, were studied with two sizes of pre-cracked compact specimens (0.35T C(T) and 0.87T C(T)). The fracture t ...
