Reduced activation ferritic-martensitic (RAFM) steels are a recent class of radiation-resistant steels designed for the structural components of power-producing fusion reactors. In this work an advanced (A)RAFM steel has been developed with superior radiation hardening resistance with respect to the EUROFER-97 upon which it was based.

By mixing elements with favourable nuclear activation properties to create high-entropy alloys, it may be possible to create a material that can withstand a nuclear fusion environment while minimising the radioactive waste produced. Such a material could be used in the extreme thermal and irradiation conditions of a fusion blanket. A suite of previ…
