STRUCTURAL MATERIAL

  • Reduced Activation Ferritic Martensitic Steels (RAFM) (SM-RAFM-004): These steels are designed for low activation under neutron irradiation, providing excellent mechanical properties and resistance to radiation-induced swelling and embrittlement. They are crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of the reactor over its operational lifetime.


  • SiC/SiC Ceramic Composites (SM-SiC-005): These composites offer high-temperature strength, low neutron activation, and excellent thermal conductivity. They are ideal for structural components exposed to the harsh conditions inside a fusion reactor, contributing to the overall efficiency and stability of the system.


  • Vanadium Alloys (SM-VA-006): Vanadium alloys provide high-temperature strength and good thermal conductivity, with low neutron activation properties. These materials are used in structural applications where radiation resistance and mechanical integrity are critical.


  • Oxide Dispersion Strengthened Steels (ODS) (SM-ODS-007): Enhanced with fine oxide particles, ODS steels offer improved high-temperature strength and radiation resistance, making them suitable for structural components that need to withstand extreme conditions and prolonged radiation exposure.
