Microstructure Refinement and mechanical properties improvement of EUROFER97 steel
EUROFER97 steel for nuclear fusion applications are usually manufactured by hot rolling and subsequent heat treatments: austenitization at 980 °C for 30 minutes, rapid cooling and tempering at 760 °C for 90 minutes. The aim of this work is to refine the microstructure of traditional EUROFER97 steel by means of a thermo-mechanical treatment, in order to

Nanoindentation and TEM to Study the Cavity Fate after Post-Irradiation Annealing of He Implanted EUROFER97 and EU-ODS EUROFER. [PDF]
The effect of post-helium irradiation annealing on bubbles and nanoindentation hardness of two reduced activation ferritic martensitic steels for nuclear fusion applications (EUROFER97 and EU-ODS EUROFER) has been studied. Helium-irradiated EUROFER97 and

Technological aspects in blanket design: Effects of micro-alloying and thermo-mechanical treatments of EUROFER97 type steels after neutron irradiation [PDF]
Presently available data on neutron irradiation damage raise doubts on the feasibility of using EUROFER97 steel for a water-cooled starter blanket in a DEMO reactor, since the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) increases significantly for ...

Microstructural insights into EUROFER97 batch 3 steels
Extensive analytical electron microscopical analyses were carried out from the micrometer scale down to the nanometer scale to characterize three variants of the 9% reduced activation ferritic martensitic (RAFM) steel EUROFER97/3. No huge microstructural differences were observed between the three grades.

Microstructural features in additively manufactured EUROFER97 components
Abstract By uncoupling the manufacturability from the design process, additive manufacturing of RAFM steels like EUROFER97 can open significant design freedom for components in fusion reactors, e.g., breeding blankets and divertor applications. As mechanical properties of RAFM steels are based on their specific microstructure and high number density

Dose Dependence of Micro-Voids Distributions in Low-Temperature Neutron Irradiated Eurofer97 Steel [PDF]
The microstructural effects of mixed spectrum neutron irradiation at 250 °C and 300 °C, for 2.7 dpa, 8.4 dpa, and 16.3 dpa doses, have been investigated in standard Eurofer97 (0.12 C, 9 Cr, 0.48 Mn, 0.2 V, 1.08 W, 0.14 Ta wt%) by means of small-

Influence of traps reversibility on hydrogen permeation and retention in Eurofer97
Abstract The presence of three trapping sites in Eurofer97 and the diffusion and trapping parameters obtained in a previousarticle are confirmed using an additional thermal desorption spectrometry experiment. Using these parameters, permeation cycles are simulated using the diffusion–reaction code mhims in order to study the influence of

Thermal diffusivity, microstructure and nanohardness of laser-welded proton-irradiated Eurofer97
Eurofer97 steel, a candidate structural material for future fusion reactors, was examined following 1.9 MeV proton-irradiation up to 0.91(5) dpa at 450 ◦C with and without a prior post-weld heat treatment at 760 ◦C for 4 hours in a laser-welded state. A nanoindentation study found a pile-up corrected nanohardness of 4.0(4) GPa in the as-welded fusion ...
