Title: Multiscale Modeling of the Deformation of Advanced Ferritic Steels for Generation IV Nuclear Energy

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/953345· OSTI ID:953345

The objective of this project is to use the multi-scale modeling of materials (MMM) approach to develop an improved understanding of the effects of neutron irradiation on the mechanical properties of high-temperature structural materials that are being developed or proposed for Gen IV applications. In particular, the research focuses on advanced ferritic/ martensitic steels to enable operation up to 650-700°C, compared to the current 550°C limit on high-temperature steels.
