Corrosion Evolution of T91 Steel in Static Lead-Bismuth Eutectic Under an Oxidising Environment
Minyi Zhang, Weiyue Zhou, Michael P. Short +3
Understanding corrosion in liquid metal-cooled nuclear systems is essential in order be able to control it. While much literature exists detailing corrosion rates and mechanisms of…
The interplay between thermomigration and stress-driven hydrogen transport in metals
Daniel J. Long, Edmund Tarleton, Alan C. F. Cocks +1
Thermomigration is the driving force for hydrogen transport due to a temperature gradient. It can compete with hydrogen transport induced by stress gradients. While stress-driven h…
Energy evolution in nanocrystalline iron driven by collision cascades
Ivan Tolkachev, Daniel R. Mason, Max Boleininger +2
Nanocrystalline materials are promising candidates for future fusion reactor applications, due to their high density of grain boundaries which may serve as sinks for irradiation in…
An empirical potential to simulate helium and hydrogen in highly irradiated tungsten
Samanyu Tirumala, Daniel R. Mason, Oliver Shattock +3
Materials used in commercial D-T fusion reactors will be exposed to irradiation and a mixture of helium and hydrogen plasma. Modeling the microstructural evolution of such material…
Atomistic and experimental study of microstructural evolution in nanocrystalline iron subjected to irradiation
Ivan Tolkachev, Daniel R. Mason, Max Boleininger +6
Nanocrystalline materials have been proposed for use in future fusion reactors due to their high grain boundary density that may act as a sink for irradiation-induced defects. We u…
