Overview
The research record spans FeCrAl alloys, nanostructured ferritic materials, oxide-dispersion-strengthened steels, irradiation effects, and manufacturing challenges for fission and fusion systems.
Research questions
How does irradiation change solute distributions and defect populations?
How can high-temperature strength and radiation tolerance be designed together?
