Vanadium-based alloys such as V-4Cr-4Ti are of interest as candidates for low activation structural
materials for advanced nuclear reactors. One of the major challenges of vanadium-based alloys is
their thermal stability and improving their mechanical properties at higher temperature ranges (>
600 °C). This work explores re…
A novel W-based refractory high entropy alloy with outstanding radiation resistance has been developed. The alloy was grown as thin films showing a bimodal grain size distribution in the nanocrystalline and ultrafine regimes and a unique 4 nm lamella-like structure revealed by atom probe tomography (APT). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and …
