The augmentation of mechanical properties of reduced activation ferritic martensitic steels through the introduction of creep resistant nano-oxide particles produces a class of oxide dispersion strengthened steels, which have attracted significant interest as candidates for first wall supporting structural materials in future nuclear fusion reac…
Vanadium base alloys represent potentially promising candidate structural materials for use in nuclear fusion reactors due to vanadium’s low activity, high thermal strength, and good swelling resistance. In this work, the mechanical properties of the current frontrunner vanadium base alloy, V-4Cr-4Ti, have been interrogated using in-situ high ene…
