The objective of this research is to determine the composition of a vanadium base alloy with the optimal combination of mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, fabricability, and weldability for use as a structural material in the environment of a magnetic fusion reactor. Creep tests were conducted on V-5Cr-5Ti and V-10Cr-5Ti alloys at 600{degrees}C. The results of these tests show that the V-10Cr-5Ti alloy has significantly higher creep strength than the V-5Cr-5Ti alloy.
