Damage analysis and fundamental studies
As a planning activity, the objectives of the workshop were to list, prioritize and milestone the activities necessary to understand, interpret and control the mechanical behavior of candidate fusion reactor alloys. Emphasis was placed on flow and fracture processes which are unique to the fusion environment since the national fusion materials program must evaluate these effects without assistance from other reactor programs. The working group on flow processes and properties was concerned with the time-dependent and independent flow. This included radiation hardening and steady state and cyclic creep. The working group on the effect of flow on fracture was concerned with the relationships between the unique flow properties of irradiated materials, such as dislocation channeling, and the fracture properties of these materials. The working group on time-dependent fracture was concerned with high-temperature, time-dependent fracture, such as stress-rupture and fatigue fracture, while also being concerned with time-dependent environmental effects on fracture. The working group on radiation-induced or enhanced embrittlement was concerned primarily with time-independent fracture of materials for near-term fusion device applications.
