Three papers are attached highlighting some recent progress in the development and testing of Oxide Dispersion Strengthened ferritic steels in tube and plate form. Aydogan et al. (2016) and Alam et al. (2016) papers summarize testing and characterization that has been performed on plate and tube materials. In the Alam et al. paper it was noted that after cross-rolling plate material of 14YWT, microcracks were formed. This resulted from an (001) texture in the plane normal to the plate causing cracking microcracking within that plane. Such microcracking affects low temperature tensile properties up to 200C. It was not seen in tube material produced by hydrostatic extrusion. In the Aydogan et al. (2016) paper characterization was performed on tubes produced from the ODS material, 14YWT. Tubes were formed through hydrostatic extrusion of plate material and hydrostatic extrusion of spray formed tubes. It was noted that strong texture on {001}<110> was formed in the plate material while shear deformation during hot extrusion produced a strong <111> ll ND texture component. In the Aydogan et al. (2017) paper detailed analysis was performed on the change in oxide size with ion irradiation to doses >500 dpa at 450C. The results show strong stability for the 2-4 nm oxide particles with a reduction in size ~25% after 270 dpa and an increase in density.
